Master Go Programming

About Master Go Programming

Welcome to Master Go Programming! This course is aimed at complete beginners to Go, as well as programmers looking to polish their Go coding skills.

What is Go?

Go is an open source programming language that makes it simple to build secure, scalable systems. The language was created by Google in 2007 and is now widely used by companies such as Uber, Netflix, Medium, Salesforce and Dropbox.

Why learn Go?

Go is a straightforward language to learn - with a similar structure to C, simple syntax, and a concise library

Go is all about performance and concurrency is prioritised - you can write code that can handle multiple tasks at once

Go is well supported and popular on cloud platforms and server-side applications - you can use it to create a full webapp or a tool to clean up incoming data for processing

Go is commonly used in DevOps, AI and data science and especially in infrastructure coding

In Master Go Programming you'll go from Beginner to Intermediate to Advanced, and at each stage of your learning you'll put your skills to the test with quizzes, practical assignments and hands-on project builds. 

These include:

Assignment - Create a map (store data values in a way that provides fast lookups allows you to retrieve, update or delete data with the help of keys)

Assignment - Build a simple vehicle management system simulation!

Project - Build a contacts management system (add, view and delete users by name, phone number and email)

Project - Implement a simple port-scanning technique (to quickly assess your machine)

You'll also build and containerise a simple gRPC application in the penultimate course section.

With almost 6 hrs of teaching, this course aims to get you confident and coding in Go before you know it. Every course section also ends with a quiz, to help you grow in confidence and better get to grips with the language!
