  • Unix: Ken Thompson
  • UTF-8, Plan 9: Rob Pike
  • Hotspot JVM (Java Virtual Machine): Robert Griesemer
Who this course is for:
  • Beginners who have never programmed before.
  • Programmers switching languages to Go.

The installation process for the tools consider a "blank" system, in my case I had previous versions of go installed and I had to debug the installation for a while. The course should at least mention that in the beginning, saying that if you already had an environment installed those instructions would not work.

very good

By Gabriel Norton on 11/14/2020

Support for other editors or at least acknowledging they are a thing would be nice as would touching on go path enough to have some idea of why the install happened like it did.

By Victor Hernandez on 11/14/2020

Really good course to understand the basics of the Go language. Thanks!

By Tawsif Karim on 11/7/2020

This course is beautifully designed with diagrams and animations. I highly recommend this course. Very clear and precise ..

By Murat Gngr on 11/7/2020

Two of the most important concepts of Go, Goroutines and Channels, are not mentioned, but I think this course provides a basis for understanding these concepts. After the course, chapters 8 and 9 in "The Go Programming Language" can be read.

By Antony Peel on 11/7/2020

Great instruction and course layout with opportunity to test and apply the knowledge through practical assignments/projects. I didn't give 5 stars because the content towards the end seemed rushed and not as detailed as the majority of the course, especially as the topics are more advanced and needed a little more time spent on them.

By Matthew Zito on 10/23/2020

This is THE introductory Go course to take on Udemy. The instructor really has a talent for teaching - I was very impressed by the quality and level of detail in this course. I especially appreciated that the instructor teaches you Go best practices and explains how the language works under the hood along the way.
I've tried to get into Go via other courses on Udemy. This is the only one that did it for me.

By Jim Sproul on 10/4/2020

This is the best course I have taken on Udemy!

By Marty Combs on 9/22/2020

The concept of slices was needed to solve the password programming challenge before the concept of slices had even been introduced. Fundamental rule of teaching is never use a concept before you actually explain that concept.

By Ben Jenkins on 9/20/2020

Great course! Lots of fun and a very good deep dive into not just go but programming in general.

By Todor Todorov on 9/16/2020

I really like the way the instructor explains the material by using visualization.
That makes the material easier to understand.
