Course Description

Go has moved from the state of tentative to mass adoption. Its C-likespeed, simplicity, and power for a growing number of systems levelprogramming domains make it an attractive option for programmers workingwith older cumbersome, statically typed languages. Golang has enteredthe space as an entirely viable language for accomplishing a huge arrayof low level programming and service infrastructure tasks.
This video course not only gives you a deep insight into thefundamental mechanics behind the language, but also covers extensivepractical topics on Go for modern software architectures. It shows youhow to write Go in an intelligent, idiomatic way. After a briefre-acquaintance with the key building blocks of Go, we will also explorehow we can build upon the unique capabilities of the language to writeeffective, powerful code you can employ to develop software. We look atpackages, object-oriented programming, concurrency and reflection amongother things. Moreover, you will learn about Go's awesome built-intesting support feature. Along the way, build your skills in Filehandling techniques, Go packages for databases, data serializationapproaches, message communications between Go services, and Go webapplications. Get your hands on with a plenty of illustrative codesamples, exercises and real-world scenarios that will help you buildyour own application.
By the end of this course, you will be taught how to put thisenhanced knowledge to build a real-world Spaceship application all byyourself with amazing features.

Way out of date on how packages work

A good and comprehensive course. Hope I can learn things well in this class. Thanks to the course teacher

This is a good course in general but I will like to see more expert patterns to handle errors and concurrent code, the Hydra project could have more concurrent features (if one of the main features of Go is to handle concurrent code why no have an option to run the chat and the webserver together for example), the logging is barely touched and the benchmark is limited to the database layer but no linear vs concurrent algorithms implementations is showed and that could be a good selling point to the go language, and the course could be updated to explain the use of go modules.

Very good and useful course

By Enrique Tordera on 10/6/2020

Is what that difficult to get a proper microphone before doing the course? Really, you have done a very good job, you explain complex things, you have good examples, but It is absolutely a pain in the ass to listen to your voice in such a very low quality. And the quality goes even worse as you go deep into the course...
Also, if you speed up is even worse since the original voice it is very low quality. You spent a lot of time going back becase it is difficult to understand what are you saying (to a point that generates headache, for real).
I don't think you really deserve a low punctuation, since the course is quite complete, but it is very painful to go though your course just because you wanted to save the microphone money. And I think is something quite noticeable enough to have been taken into consideration. Otherwise, the course is complete, with complex explanations and targeting high knowledge into Golang. Definitely not a beginners course.

Very good course but I think that it's for beginners not for advanced/expert programmers.

By Michael Daralola on 9/5/2020

It was really nice seeing this course and experimenting, i have a wide knowledge about how things work in GO

By Edgar Gomez on 8/22/2020

un poco desorganizado, muchos saltos en la linea te tiempo, y el repo desactualizado.

By Matt on 8/17/2020

Very mixed about this tutorial series. While it was very thorough, the range from absolutely entry level (set up, variable types etc) to advanced was disorienting and tedious. The pace was very slow, even at 2x speed constant skipping was required.
B trawling the whole series I feel I definitely learn some things, but it was needles in a haystack.
My recommendation would be if you are to create an advanced course, focus on advanced topics and assume a base level of knowledge of the viewer and make your content more concise, viewers can always pause and rewatch videos, but skipping forward is really unpleasant.

Very good course

By David Basterfield on 6/22/2020

The course was good for me, especially the first eight sections.

By Yuri Goikhman on 5/22/2020

The course is advertised for expert level. There is a lot of content for newbies. The course can be shorten in half by cutting the newbies content
