What you will learn

Syntax, notation, taxonomy and special "vocabulary" used by and for GO

Basic concepts of programming in GO, such as control structures, control flow, loops, and conditional branching

Characteristics and differences of GO to more "conservative" programming languages such as C, C++ and Java

Handling of variables, types, functions (and their signatures), (variatic) parameters and passing arguments

Variables & types (simple and composite), slices & pointers, structs, etc.

Functions, Callbacks, Closures

Concurrency & Parallelization, Mutex, Atomic

Channels (directional, bidirectional), Fan in, Fan out, the "Comma OK" Idiom, Context

Error Detection, Error Handling

Code Documentation in GO

Benchmarks, Examples and Tests (BET)

Basics package and dependency management with GO modules

and much more to get a wide insight into the GO programming language and become a respectable programmer

Why take this course?

Join me on an exciting journey as we experience coding with Google's GO (golang) programming language. Together we will learn the basics of programming as well as the ins and outs of the GO programming language.

This course is intended as a comprehensive resource for learning programming basics an concepts in general and Google's GO (golang) programming language in particular - a comprehensive experience.

Due to its large scope, the course is equally suitable for beginners and slightly more advanced developers and it is full of examples, quizzes, hands-on exercises, solutions to that practical exercises, and a tiny code repository -- accessible via Github.

When you sign up for this course, you have lifetime access to the course. You can learn at your own pace and return to content at any time for deeper insights or to learn additional concepts when you are ready.

  • This course also comes with a 100% money back guarantee.

  • I think this is one of the most comprehensive courses in English for learning the GO programming language.

  • And if for some reason the course doesn't work for you, you can get a full refund within the first 14 days*.

You can get great value from this course and, more importantly, you'll have a great time learning one of the best programming languages ever - the GO programming language, the fastest growing programming language with the highest paid programmers in the US within the last years.

GO is an open-source programming language that makes it easy to develop simple, reliable, and efficient software.

GO was developed by computer science luminaries at one of the best, if not the best, software development companies ever - Google. The design and implementations are by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson.

GO is a very good choice for learning a programming language because it was developed by some of the same people who created the C programming language, Unix, and UTF-8 - some of the most influential contributions to computer science. With GO Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson created a modern programming language that can easily run on multiple processors in parallel, works smoothly in different environments, and makes it easy for programmers to write programs with a very streamlined and user-friendly syntax.

Why did Google develop a new programming language?

In Google's words, "GO was born out of frustration with existing languages and environments for systems programming. Programming had become too difficult and the choice of languages was partly to blame. One had to choose either

  • efficient compilation,

  • efficient execution, or

  • ease of programming;

all three were not available in the same mainstream language. Programmers who could were choosing ease over safety and efficiency by moving to dynamically typed languages such as Python and JavaScript rather than C++ or, to a lesser extent, Java. GO is an attempt to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language. It also aims to be modern, with support for networked and multicore computing.

Finally, working with GO is intended to be fast: it should take at most a few seconds to build a large executable on a single computer. To meet these goals required addressing a number of linguistic issues: an expressive but lightweight type system; concurrency and garbage collection; rigid dependency specification; and so on. These cannot be addressed well by libraries or tools; a new language was called for."

In my humble opinion, GO is the best programming language you can learn today. I've worked with a few programming languages since I was introduced to programming through BASIC in the mid-80s, and Go is by far the best-designed language I've ever used.

Join learning one of the best programming languages ever designed. You will get knowledge, ideas, concepts, inspiration, quizzes, and code samples to learn to create software and applications yourself according to your needs.

Initially, I didn't have that much knowledge of GO lang. I listened to many videos on youtube. but it didn't work. on starting this course, I feel I can understand easily what I learned so far. It can help anyone in the beginner's phase like me.

I am an experienced developer (+20 years exp) and needed a course to learn GO. I like to learn everything about a language, and this course does teach everything about GO that I want to learn. Since the course is written for a complete beginner to programming, I set the video speed to 1.5x and often fast forward through sections that I don't need to hear. OTOH, there is SO much information in the course about programming and computer history, not just the GO language, I often listen to all of the videos to gain bits of wisdom and also refreshers. The instructor is very thorough in his course presentation, and is very responsive to questions or problems. He is also very funny at times, with some very witty sayings. If you are completely new to programming, this would also be a great course, since everything is explained to the most minor detail. The instructor doesn't just tell you what to do, but explains the why behind it, and at times, also the history of how we got here.

Great course so far. So much content. The instructor starts at the very beginning and leads through each section carefully.
