Best course to learn about concurrent programming in Golang. All topics are well explained and instructor's teaching style is awesom,

Excellent final assignment that is thought provoking to the max!

Well-organized course and good homeworks. The course is very useful for programmers who wanna learn go and refresh memories about concurrency.

Course content is high quality. The professor has explained the concepts very well. I thoroughly enjoyed doing the assignments (the last one is sufficiently challenging). I wish this professor puts up more courses related to GoLang in the future. I want to give 5/5 stars but I must deduct review stars. You can say I'm being lenient with the review otherwise with the poor quality of forums I would give 2. 4 just for the professor's explanations. There are heavy mistakes in slides/ videos. Worst part is that the discussion forum is only filled with "Please review my assignment" instead of meaningful discussions. Peer review system has defeated the very purpose of discussion forums. I don't see any debates or topics that enhance my knowledge there. Disappointed with the forums. There are no TA's to solve my doubts either. It's not worth paying money if its supposed to be like that.

I think this course and this entire series have been great ways to jump into Go programming. I'm going to use what I've learned here to get started writing concurrent algorithms for optimization problems!

Excelente curso, cada tema es bien explicado, aprend mucho sobre concurrencia :)

By Fedir R on 23-Nov-18

Very nice course. Gives good understanding of the concurrency globally, and about methods of handling it with Go. Last assignment was quite hard, and I recommend You to try to do it ASAP, as it could be complicated to find reviewers to validate it.

Best course in the specialization.

By Jonathan H on 27-Sep-18

great course!

By Light0617 on 24-Oct-18

good course! but if we can have a big project, it will be better!the homework seem just small assignment.

By Iziren O on 26-Oct-18

The professor did an excellent job explaining the concepts.

By Andrei D on 22-Nov-18

This course was very useful to learn all the golang programming basics!
