This course introduces the Go programming language, commonly referred to as Golang, which is recognized for its efficiency, strong concurrency mechanisms, and ease of use. It covers Go’s syntax, control structures, data types, and interfaces, along with its unique features like goroutines for concurrent tasks, channels for inter-goroutine communication, and the defer, panic, and recover pattern for error handling. Participants learn how to set up a Go development environment, understand the Go workspace, manage dependencies, and write robust, efficient, and readable Go code. The course also highlights Go’s standard library, testing practices, and the creation of documentation. By the end of the course, learners are capable of building command-line tools, simple web servers, and are prepared to delve into more complex projects using Go.
