gRPC: The Tutorial I Wish I Had (Golang)

Description

Learn gRPC from scratch in this complete Go tutorial. We'll cover the core concepts (Protocol Buffers, HTTP/2, streaming patterns) and then build a real-world Task Manager application with a Go server and client. Whether you're coming from REST or just want to level up your backend skills, this is the guide I wish I had when I started.
