Building a Web Server in Go

I built a minimal web server in Go using the standard library. The server responds at / with request details and has a /count endpoint to track the number of requests.

The difficult part was handling concurrent requests safely using sync.Mutex and managing request counts correctly.

This project helped me understand Go basics, HTTP handlers, and concurrency, giving a practical introduction to building web servers from scratch.
