PRT Status server (with Go)
This repository hosts the server code for the WVU PRT Status (https://prtstat.us) project. The server is currently hosted on Google App Engine (https://wvuprtstatus-ec646.appspot.com/) and works well within Google's generous free tier.
The repository also has a Go library for interacting with WVU's PRT Status API (which is just a simple net/http wrapper with custom types and other utility functions). See GoDoc for more info.
