Course Description

Go is the language of the Internet age, because it was built from the ground up to support modern distributed web software. Go is also cross-platform as it compiles to numerous operating systems and CPU architectures via simple commands. It compiles to native binaries, it doesn't use a VM, and is garbage-collected, which makes it a breeze to deploy in production environments.
Throughout the course, we will use modern open source third party packages in Go to build a distributed application that will support several databases, establish efficient serial communications techniques, and construct an advanced web layer with templates, cookies, and websockets support.
We will start with a refresher on Go's primary building blocks. From there, we will explore numerous open source packages that allow working with a variety of databases in a production environment as well as an ORM layer. We will then explore building reliable and robust microservices that communicate efficiently with each other via fast serialization and RPC techniques. Finally, we will develop knowledge on powerful third party templating engines and web toolkits, to construct a modern web layer with a RESTful API.

By Edward Borst

talking very slowly...

By Leandro de Souza

It is easy to understand, good examples and good explanations

By Jianan Zhang

The instructor is knowledgable but the accent is really distracting..

By Lamar Marshall

very very well done. this course covers go in such depth.

By Brad Forbes

I can't really recommend this course, especially if you haven't learned the basics of Go yet. There were some obvious gaps in the instructor's explanations of some concepts. Also, the instructor has a strange habit of not using any spaces in his code, then just hitting "Format" every once and a while to auto-correct it. That seems fine for personal coding, but I found it distracting while following along.

If you want to learn Go, I found this other Udemy course better: https://www.udemy.com/go-the-complete-developers-guide

By Artem Glebov

Sure enough!

By Nikola Nesovic

Great course!

By Dzintars Klavins

Just started first lecture. Kinda falling in sleep. Hard to keep attention because... it sounds kinda sleepy. :)

Will update this later.

By Dan Fletcher

Its really not up to the quality of the other courses. The training structure and material has not been prepared in advance, whilst we follow through a project more thought needs to be put into what each video is trying to teach.

By Sammy Ageil

Using any IDE would have been much better than using golang Playground.

By Dino Lokmić

really good and detailed explanations. I can recommend this

By Streamdr

So far...excellent.

The best Go (Golang) course I have picked up yet. The lecturer Mina is thorough, the course is well paced (if it's a bit slow in some parts, I speed up to 1.5 x normal play speed), and the concepts are very well explained. It is still early days in this course for me though, and so can leave a more detailed review once I am further into the course, and perhaps push it up to a 5 star review, but so far...it is excellent.
