Video Description

Go (a.k.a. Golang) is a statically-typed programming language first developed at Google. It is derived from C with additional features such as garbage collection, type safety, dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types, and a large standard library.

This course takes off where basic tutorials on the language leave off. You can immediately put into practice some of the more advanced concepts and libraries offered by the language while avoiding some of the common mistakes for new Go developers.

The course covers basic type and error handling. It explores applications that interact with users, such as command-line tools or via the file system.

Style and Approach

This video course is a handy reference for developers to quickly look up Go development patterns. It is a companion to other resources and a reference that will be useful long after viewing it for the first time. Each video includes working, simple and tested code that can be used as a reference or foundation for your own applications.
