Course Introduction
From the beginning, you will pair program with the instructor, walking through the design philosophies and guidelines used to engineer the code. Throughout the class, you will learn more about Go and the advanced engineering features of the language.
This course is part of the Ultimate Go Track. Not sold separately.
Note: All of our bundles are for a one-year subscription.
At the end of the subscription period, your membership does not automatically renew.
Requirements:
You need to know how to program and core concepts of working with computers (such as files, HTTP, memory management…)
- An intermediate understanding of the Go programming language is recommended.
- Students will derive the most value if they have taken our Ultimate Go and Ultimate Go: Web Services with Kubernetes classes.
