Intro 🎬

Let’s admit it. We all have used a shortened URL at least once.

URL Shortener is an application that allows users to shorten unwieldy links into better-looking URLs. This is useful for a variety of purposes, such as sharing links on social media or simply sending links via email.

To build such an application, we want a powerful and efficient programming language. Go was designed by Google engineers with the needs of modern developers in mind. It's a compiled language that runs quickly and efficiently on a variety of platforms. Plus, its syntax is clean and easy to read, making it a great choice for those just starting with coding.

This series will explore how to write a URL shortener in the Go programming language and Redis as a storing mechanism.
