This program is a simple RESTful CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) API using the Go programming language. It demonstrates how to build a basic API server with endpoints for managing a collection of books. The program uses the gorilla/mux package to handle HTTP routing and JSON encoding/decoding.
The tutorial for this program can be found at the following URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIe543ufGmE
