Features

The Go Conference 2023 Booking App offers the following features:

  1. User Input: Users are prompted to enter their first name, last name, email, and the number of tickets they want to book.
  2. Validation: User inputs are validated to ensure the name is not too short, the email contains an “@” sign, and the number of tickets is valid.
  3. Booking Tickets: If the user input is valid, the application books the tickets, updates the remaining ticket count, and stores the user data.
  4. Email Confirmation: A separate goroutine is used to send a confirmation email to the user, simulating a delay with a sleep function.
  5. Display Bookings: After each successful booking, the application displays the list of all bookings made so far, showing the first names of the attendees.
  6. Ticket Availability: The application checks the remaining ticket count and informs the user if all tickets have been sold out.
  7. Concurrency: The program uses the sync.WaitGroup to ensure that the email goroutine completes before the program exits.

Dependencies

The Go Conference 2023 Booking App has no external dependencies.
