Welcome to the Building Academic Suite book. This comprehensive guide takes you through the journey of building a production-grade Learning Management System (LMS) from scratch using Golang and React.
Table of Contents
Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to the Academic Suite project, outlining the goals, the fullstack technology architecture (Go, PostgreSQL, React, TypeScript), and the development environment setup.
Chapter 2: Database Design
Deep dive into the database schema design. We cover Entity-Relationship diagrams, normalization, and the specific tables needed for users, exams, and question banks.
Chapter 3: Authentication & Authorization
Implementing a secure authentication system using JWT (JSON Web Tokens). This chapter also covers Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to differentiate between Admins, Teachers, and Students.

Building the backend services to manage the core academic data: Subjects, Question Banks, and Exam logic. We focus on clean architecture and efficient CRUD operations.
Chapter 5: Exam Engine
Developing the efficient exam engine that handles question distribution, randomization, and session management for students taking exams.
Chapter 6: Data Integrity & Concurrency
Addressing the critical challenges of data integrity during high-load exams. We discuss database transactions, locking strategies, and preventing race conditions.
Chapter 7: React Architecture
Setting up a scalable frontend architecture. We look at directory structure, component reusability, and integrating the API layer with the UI.
Chapter 8: Exam Interface
Building the student-facing Exam UI. This chapter focuses on UX, timer synchronization, and state persistence to ensure students don't lose progress.
Chapter 9: Live Monitoring
Implementing real-time features using WebSockets. We build a Live Monitor for teachers to track active students and their status during an exam.
