Description

In this course we start learning Golang from Scratch. Go is an open source programming language created by Google. As one of the fastest growing languages in terms of popularity, its a great time to pick up the basics of Go!

We start with how to install golang on your system and then we proceed to developing our first golang hello world program. Then we start diving into golang structure and syntax. Once we become familiarized with initial go structure, we will start working with more advanced topics like concurrant programming and working with packages. During our course, we will explore a lot of aspects of golang in detail and use important packages for everyday tasks.

Golang is very easy to pick up and its syntax is fairly simple as compared to other programming language. However golang requires a lot of effort and practice to master its concepts (for example concurrancy) which could be very tricky for programmers to understand at first. This course aims to make golang learning easy and simpler by working with simple yet useful examples to make the concepts clear.

Who this course is for:

People with no prior experience of golang
People who want to learn this new and exciting language
