Course Introduction

Learn to write better, more idiomatic and performant code in Go with a focus on micro-level engineering decisions. The course begins with a focus on Go internals that are critical to understanding the core tradeoffs on readability, simplicity and performance.

You will learn about data semantics, guidelines, mechanical sympathy, data oriented design, package oriented design, and how to structure your Go projects for the long term.
