Web Development w/ Google’s Go (golang) Programming Language (Udemy.com)

Overall I would describe the course as good but not great. Good, because there are helpful and detailed units on using Go http templates, the Go net/http package, information on how to work with sessions and cookies, and the instructor's explanations are clear and easy to follow. But not great because there is no real, code-along project; some of the content is outdated (e.g. Go+MongoDB) or does not go far enough (e.g. some of the deployment sections); and though the speaker has a great sense of humour (which I appreciate), sometimes the personal asides are a bit too much.

It's good but could be better. Good foundation I think. For the code given I do have my own opinions on how things are organized... I have noticed that it is much simpler to follow the code to separate functions into chunks in the same package but with different go files and only ever make a new folder to organize non go files like images, templates, etc. There are also some parts that need updating, now you can do 'go mod init', 'go mod tidy' and 'go run .' to make our lives a lot easier. Maybe introducing a framework to use in the end would be nice too.

Could use a little more in depth explanations. I find myself googling a lot But that isn't a deal breaker. Overall it is a solid course. Lot of crucial content included, and ordered it well. Course itself I'd say 4.5 stars but giving it 5 stars for an awesome personality. Great, mellow and a very humble soul. These types are hard to come by these days.

It was such a good diverse course that helped me a lot especially the hand on exercises, cannot express enough how important they are. Thanks Todd for such an amazing journey, I did enjoy it all. If it was not for the two Mongodb sections I would give it 5 stars. I think they both should be one section, with less videos.

This course has been really wonderful for me! Thank you, Todd, you made a great job, your explanations were very detailed and completely clear. I feel that my understanding of Go and webdev itself became much more deeper, and it urges me to use my new knowledges and continue learning in this field. Live and learn! Thank you very much one more time.

It's a really amazing course! You'll not only get deep understanding of how Go works "under the hood", but you'll also get real life examples and project templates, so you can start your own development easily. Besides Go, you'll get familiar with different databases ans Amazon Web Servives, which is very useful too. I can highly recommend this course to everyone. Thanks Todd!

Hey Todd, just completed this course after Go Programming. Thank you very much for all your efforts and the enthusiasm you put into both courses. It helped me alot to understand Go and the basics of Web Programming, however I was really curious about AppEngine and was expecting an AppEngine Chapter to arrive which never happened. As it is almost 1 year after this course started and you promised it to arrive in your last video on MongoDB has the plan been cancelled? Thank you again for everything you do, Simon

Todd McLeod has a hands-on approach to teach. He speaks about complex concepts as whether it would be a simple thing. He is a good person too and always has something good to say about the life beyond the great technical content. Transmits confidence and motivation. Thank you, Todd and Udemy for that great course. It will be very useful for my future professional activities and personal projects.

Even though most of the concepts are fine for me, as I have programming background, some things are not so obvious for normal people who studies the course for the first time. For example when you was showing go like overloading of method "speak", you said that we can access person method through dot notation, but you didn't show for example the case when we don't overload method speak in secret agent.

I've taken quite a few online courses in my lifetime and have found Todd McLeod's course offerings to be the very best! His courses are comprehensive and extremely in depth. In this course you will be taking a deep dive into Web Development using the Go programming language and will work extensively with MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Excellent introductions to Amazon Web Services and Docker Containers are also included in this course offering. I highly recommend taking this outstanding course!
