Why take this course?

Learn to write modern, fast, and secure web applications in Google's Go programming language, and learn it from an award winning University professor with 20 years of teaching experience, and 20 years of experience working in the industry as an entrepreneur.

Go is a modern, type safe, compiled, and extremely fast programming language. It it is ideally suited for building safe, scalable, incredibly fast web applications.

This course is well-suited for both absolute beginners, and for developers who already know something about web development, but want to add Go to their toolbox.

We start with an overview of the Go language, and then cover everything you need to get started writing web applications, including an overview of HTML5, a survey of JavaScript and JavaScript modules, how to work with Cascading Style Sheets to make our application look the way we want, and much more.

The major project in this course is building a bookings and reservation system for a Bed & Breakfast. Visitors to our site will be able to search for accommodations by date and make an online reservation, and the site owner will be able to manage reservations from a secure back end.

By the time you finish this course, you will have a solid grasp of what it takes to build a completely functional, secure, and fast web application from the ground up, and you will have a solid understanding of the Go programming language.

Dr Trevor Sawler is one of the best instructor in the Udemy that I have encounter so far. The course has clear goal , a complete web portal , which makes it fun and very enjoyable to watch since your heading towards this goal. All the concepts of GO Lang are well explained and easy to follow no matter what is your programming experience. I am really having a great time and fun following this course and for sure I will buy the rest of Go courses upon I complete this. A big thank you to Dr Sawler for this great course.

The bottom up approach to delivering the knowledge was perfect match for my learning style. Best Golang course I've come across

This is definitely what I was looking for. Perfect for those who're already a little bit familiar with programming and go but want to learn more about how to use standart library of go (standart library is what makes go this powerful) to create production quality web apps. Instructor is good at explaining stuff, but it may be a little bit hard to follow if this is going to be the first time you do programming stuff, or using go. You may want to check official Go Tour in the go website and start after that.

So far the instructor has done a good job explaining and doing some examples of the different concepts. I wish he could have dug more into pointers, and other concepts that may need more attention, but I trust the way the instructor is doing navigating through the course.

the examples are all very detailed and there are a lot of them but the tech jargon is high. if you know what a string/int/bool is then you probably don't need some many examples of how to use them but if you don't know what they are then the examples are useless with out explanation. this course is a little to hard for an absolute beginner, and way to wordy for a beginner with a little experience.

I am currently using PHP and the details that you've said comparing compiled vs scripting language was true because I personally experienced it.

Hats off to a great teacher! Superbly explained and helps developers in exploring core strength of Go. Was lucky enough to take this course and 6 last months have been full of learning and fun! Instructor is tireless as he explains/ implements in detail how modern web apps are built! A real gem!

Good beginner with Web App dev from other language to learn Golang. But but AdminPostShowReservation (handler) is no on the tutorial until 162 There is no reference code to download as well.

kurz gesagt, richtig gut. Er erklärt super, die Beispiel Application ist super Sinnvoll und nachvollziehbar und die Beispiele wirken nicht konstruiert und könnten so wirklich in Anwendungen genutzt werden. Ich habe viel gelernt, vielen Dank! in short, really good. He explains great, the example application is super sensible and understandable and the examples do not seem contrived and so could really be used in applications. I have learned a lot, thank you!

Fantastic course that presents a pragmatic and realistic look at building a Go web app from scratch. It's not a step-by-step tutorial that has you walk straight towards the finish line but rather an iterative approach that doesn't just take you through the "right way" to do things but also shows you common errors to avoid and how to prevent and/or fix them. The course has been out for a while but outdated lectures seem to have been updated and the instructor seems very responsive to any issues in the Q&A section.

The course at the moment seems promising. I liked the fact that the author show use case of the golang in real life project.

I'm only in the beginning of the course, but thus far my experience has been great. I very much relate to Trevor's approach (conveyed right from the first video), and the material is being taught in a clear, thorough manner. Would definitely look up more of his courses once I'm done with this one.
