Description

This is a comprehensive course for learning Golang for experienced developers. We cover everything you need in detail, while assuming you don't need a 15 minute video on print statements. This course is meant to get you started in Go as quick as possible and in a fun and entertaining way. This course does not skimp on content, it just presents it in a concise way in order to not waste your time and get you up and running with Go in no time!Learn about:- The main philosophy of Go, its general design and its strongly/statically types properties- How to use constants vs variables- The basic data types like ints, floats and strings- Creating and using functions- If, else if and else statements- Switch statements- While loops and for loops- The difference between arrays and slices- How strings, runes and bytes all relate to each other and how to use them- Using interfaces to make your code more flexible- What structs are in Golang and how to best use them- Memory management and pointers- Parallelism and concurrency with Goroutines- How to use channels with Goroutines- Using generics to make your functions and structs more flexible- Building and API from scratch- Middleware and auth in APIs- Installing and importing external packages
