Course Description

According to many industry experts, Golang is THE most important skill to learn in 2022 as more and more companies are using it to build awesome technology - from infrastructure technologies to microservices to serverless programs powering entire SAAS products.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This course, 3 Simple Golang Projects! - Learn GO By Building! is the fastest way to start applying your basic golang knowledge in the real-world and actually learning how projects are actually built.

In this totally hands-on course, there's -

  • No boring theory

  • No long introductions

  • No beating around the bush or wasting time

  • Just pure coding on the projects and learning from actually doing - not just watching

This is a code-along course and meant to be practiced along-side learning. I encourage all my students to stop procrastination and just "Eat the Frog". This course is to get your feet wet by building projects.

This course, unlike others, goes hands-on, in-depth, behind the scenes of actual projects, all you need is golang installed on your machine and a basic, running knowledge of golang (atleast having completed the go tour) and everything else will be taken care of.

For this course, we will build three awesome real-world projects that you can -

  • Show on your resume to get selected in interviews

  • Use the base code to create other projects

  • Build better and deeper knowledge of GO

  • And lastly, show off to your friends :)

After finishing this course, you'll be able to approach building new projects with Golang with a better toolset.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Golang is -

  1. Fast

  2. Extremely Light

  3. Extremely Scalable

  4. Very easy to understand and learn

  5. Super easy to debug

  6. Has built-in concurrency

  7. Great frameworks are being created (GO-Fiber is very similar to ExpressJS, but waayyyyyy faster)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was created by geniuses working at Google and many senior developers are now finding great value by learning GO. Here are some of the benefits -

1. There is a huge scarcity of quality GO developers in the market, so you can get hired QUICK!

2. The pay-packages and salaries for GO developers are some of the highest in the world (way higher than NodeJS, React Native developers)

3. GO has many applications in Web 3.0 world and with Machine Learning and Big Data (to work with large amounts of data you need a technology that has concurrency and parallelism and is also extremely light-weight)

4. GO is extremely versatile - You can do some serious software engineering with it along with writing low level code like manipulating network requests, hacking etc. So once you know GO, you don't need to learn a whole lot of languages.

I’ve tried learning Go before, but this course made it stick. The projects are straightforward, and the explanations are clear. I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned to my own projects

By Udemy User on 3/4/2025

I've been looking for a course that would help me learn Go and this one is fantastic! The projects are simple yet challenging and give a great hands-on experience. I feel so much more confident in Go now. Highly recommended

By Bolulesssky on 3/4/2025

The course was well-paced, and the instructor made everything easy to follow. I love the approach of building real projects because it helps you understand Go in a more practical way

By Khan Aniket on 2/25/2025

Fantastic course! The content is well-structured, and I love how you start by building simple projects right away. It made learning Go feel approachable, even for a complete beginner. The instructor is easy to follow, and I feel much more confident with Go now. Definitely worth the time

By nizhunt eth on 2/24/2025

This course is awesome for anyone who wants to actually build stuff with Golang instead of just learning theory. The projects are hands-on, practical, and give a solid understanding of how Go is used in the real world. Akhil keeps things straight to the point, no fluff, just coding. Some explanations could be a bit slower, but overall, it's a great way to level up your Go skills while working on real projects. Highly recommend!

By Carlos Arraes on 3/1/2023

Kinda meh, i really don't like the way its presented, feels it's all over the place the way he leaves incomplete code and comes back later to it, i prefer to finish a function/type/struct and then go do the next step, makes more sense to me, so if you are like me, just know that.

By Hafiz Faisal Hashim Soomro on 8/11/2022

The course is a good entry point for people who wants to get some ideas for the projects, however, the learning style of the instructor requires some improvements. What I mean by that is the whole code is being written till the end and then we test it out in "Run the program" section which makes it very challenging to get a grasp on the concepts, so maybe try to engage the learner more by showing the output of what we've built so far through running it in the terminal.

By John Tyra on 7/26/2022

Ahkil is amazing! His teaching style is exactly what I need, which is to get hands-on real-world coding experience with an ACTUAL project instead of hours and hours of theory. I need to "do the things" and this course met that need perfectly. Thank you Ahkil!!

By Soumil Agarwal on 7/3/2022

This course is quite good for doing a hands on practice of golang concepts instead of having theoretical knowledge. The first two projects were good and explained thoroughly. The third project is very interesting and covers important golang concepts used which makes go standout from the other languages. However the third project needs some more explanations with Draw.io diagrams like first two projects regarding following:- 1. When we create a newRequest using http.NewRequest("GET", translateURL, nil) explain why are we passing nil 2. While forming query using query.Add("sl", body.SourceLang) explain what is "sl", "tl" , "s" like is it specifically expected by the google api? 3. While ParsingJson in video 70 why did we use ParseJsonBuffer and not json.Unmarshal? 4. The denesting part can be explained little better with help of visual diagrams. 5. Whenever using 3rd party library like gabs or flag show just give a quick briefup about the package and what are the commonly used functions in those package. Some time could have been spent on flag and gabs. 6. The google translate api which we used, open the url and show it on google apis site like what params it expects and what it returns.

Well done Akhil. This is the far best course on Udemy for beginners! The teacher explains every step and concept of how to build your project. Hope to see more from you on Udemy.
