Go: Getting Started

Go is the simple yet powerful language that is revolutionizing how web services and devops tools are created. In this course, you'll learn everything you need to get started creating your own Go applications.

Go is a fully compiled language from Google. Designed from the ground up to be simple and powerful, many developers find it to be a joy to program in and are impressed by how easy it is to solve many difficult programming tasks. In this course, I will take you on a survey of the Go language itself. This isn’t a theory course though. I’m going to teach you by writing code. When I introduce a concept, we’ll see some small examples that show how it works. Then, at the end of a module, we’ll use what we learn to build out a real-world application.
