Complete Free Golang Course – from basics to advanced topics

Free Golang Course

Master the fundamentals and advanced features of the Go programming language

What is Go?

Go (also known as Golang) is a programming language developed at Google in 2007 and open-sourced in 2009.

It was designed to combine the efficacy, speed, and safety of a statically typed and compiled language with the ease of programming of a dynamic language to make programming more fun again. It focuses on simplicity, reliability, and efficiency.

In a way, they wanted to combine the best parts of C++ and Python with building reliable systems that could take advantage of multi-core processors.

Go is relatively easy to learn and has a supportive and active community.

And being a multipurpose language, you can use it for things like backend development, cloud computing, and, more recently, data science.

Which makes it highly suitable for distributed systems. Projects such as Kubernetes, Redis and Docker are written in Go.

3. Golang is Simple yet powerful

Go has just 25 keywords, making it easy to read, write and maintain. The language itself is concise.

But don’t be fooled by the simplicity, Go has several powerful features that we will later learn in the course.
