Course Description

More and more developers are interested in learning Go. It was the language of the year on TIOBE in 2016 and is at the top of the list of languages that developers want to learn next.
This course will teach you how to program in Go, building on your existing knowledge of programming languages. It starts by introducing familiar features before moving on to the more unique features that have earned Go its reputation as the language of the cloud. You will learn how to build a completely functional application server in under two dozen lines of code. Then, you'll master structuring and organizing your code, implementing the procedural control structures of every C-inspired language, and breaking your code into separate functions.
Towards the end of the course, you'll learn how to create your own packages and import them. You'll also explore Go's approach to error handling, Object-Oriented Programming, and concurrency. By the end of the course, you'll be ready to start writing your own Go projects.

Overall, the information of this course are good. It gives poeple a fast approach about the Go syntax and specific language features. But the information about the depency management via Go dep are deprecated, because go deliver a own depency management with Go mod. This course needs a refresh.

By Andrea Gmez on

I don't like the copying and pasting approach of the beginning of the course, I prefer when courses want me to write the code in order for it work while explaining what each part of the code does.Also, adding comments to the code would be very helpful for the simple web server when you're starting with Go.Pointers should be emphasized more, pointers are a really important topic yet, they only have one video.
