Course Description

The Ultimate Go: Language Guide has been designed over the past 8 years and goes beyond just being a Go language class. There will be very little time spent on specific Go syntax. Our time will be spent learning how to read and comprehend Go code with a big focus on “if performance matters” then these things matter.
