Course Overview

Go is one of the most popular programming languages today in the systems programming and networking space. Go has built-in concurrency capabilities using a simple concurrency model implemented using goroutines and channels. In addition to Go’s rich and reliable standard library, handy Go packages (cobra and viper) allow us to develop powerful command-line utilities (e.g., docker and hugo) in Go. You will start the course by covering the basics of Go—syntax, basic and composite data types, etc.—before movin...Show More
