Course Description

The Go programming language was created by Google to do what Google does: performant web applications at scale.
Open-sourced in 2009 and reaching version one in 2012, the Go programming language is the best choice for web development programming today.
Ruby on Rails, Python, Django, Node.js, PHP, and ASP all fall short.
Go is the most powerful, performant, and scalable programming language today for creating web applications, web API's, microservices, and other distributed services.

I am a tenured professor in California. I have taught at both the college and university level. I have also taught in multiple disciplines including business, information systems, computer science, and online education. In 1997, I was one of the first professors at the university to teach online. I did post-graduate work in online education at UC San Diego. I co-founded and taught in the "Online Teacher's Training Program" which trained professors how to teach online. In 2008, I was selected as one of the best instructors in the entire California Community College system. Currently, when measured by the number of students served, I am the world's leading trainer in Google's new programming language which is one of the fastest growing, highest paying programming languages in America. In addition, I have started three businesses (two of them profitable, so far). My background in business, information systems, computer science, online education, and real-world entrepreneurship has prepared me to teach all of these courses. I look forward to helping you learn great skills to improve your life. Better skills, better life.

The course is well put together, Todd the instructor is doing a good job in explaining the concepts, there is quite a good amount of repetition and exercises to make the concepts stick. The selection of topics is good covering golang and specifically concepts of templates, webserver, router and handling functions, databases (sql & no-sql). The database section was a bit too long for my taste, also the mgo driver (go-lang mongo) is an outdated driver. Overall however this is a good course. I recommend it.

By Aldi Firmansyah on

Actually this is not what I expected from this course. I was expecting a backend golang course, but what i got is a web app fundamentals, and it is really great.Now I am your secret fan haha

I bought this course years ago after I learned the basics of Go in another of Todd's wonderful courses but didn't find the time to start this course too. Meanwhile I've sucessfully used Go in production in several small web projects. But most of the time I used Go, with a bigger hobby project in mind, for prototyping on Windows, Linux and a Raspberry Pi.Now, I finally found the time to go through this course and I enjoyed it. As Go has involved there are a few topics that could be added. But, to be honest, everybody who completed this course, will be able to pickup the missing new pieces and add them to his knowledge himself.Even the topics in this course are not completely new to me, it was a pleasure to attend this course from A to Z. The unique thematic breath and depth in the touched subject areas provided a great resource for review and reflection.At the end the course I've been left with more questions then answers regaring my future project. But what I learned has lead to knew ideas that need some more research and on the other hand, it has provided confidence in areas where I felt uncertainty.Thank you Todd,Peter

McLeod is the man, best teacher I've learned from by far. His style is very conversational while being extremely thorough and informative. I've taken two of his courses so far and think his method for getting all this material in your head is so effective. The personality and personal anecdotes he throws into his courses not only keep the tone light and fun but also help solidify the concepts in a way that purely matter of fact courses don't.Highly recommend him as an instructor and this course as well.

By Gomes Aguillar on

Best instructor on Udemy so far.Thanks to Todd, I was able to move from 0 knowledge in Golang, to creating my own little MVC implementation of the HTCPCP protocol in Go, all using the concepts he teaches in the course.I definitely recommend this course.You can check my project on this link: https://github.com/pisces-period/coffeeonthego

This is everything I wanted in a thorough modern web course, and more. I am a bootcamp grad currently working at a Node.js shop in the telco sector and wanted to gain a deeper understanding of server programming and AWS. Coupled with the Linux admin skills I've gained on the job (which came in handy in this course - especially the AWS section and configuring systemd), I feel like my skills are growing rapidly. Todd is a fantastic instructor, and if you code every exercise and pay attention, you will learn far more in this course than just programming in Go. 10/10.

By Igor Har� Serafim da Silva on

This course is good, specially if you are new for web development. I my case, I have 15 years of experience working with web development, so most things presented here was just a check for me to see how it is done in Go. Thanks for the course anyway!

By Hector Rios on

I've purchased several of Todd's courses. I just like his delivery and presentation of whatever material he's teaching. You can definitely tell that he's a professional educator.

By Law Kee Chai on

This course covered a few different fields, and I think I have learned the fundamentals that are enough for me to start coding somehing, thanks Todd!
