Go has moved from the state of tentative to mass adoption. Its C-like
speed, simplicity, and power for a growing number of systems level
programming domains make it an attractive option for programmers working
with older cumbersome, statically typed languages. Golang has entered
the space as an entirely viable language for accomplishing a huge array
of low level programming and service infrastructure tasks.
This video course not only gives you a deep insight into the
fundamental mechanics behind the language, but also covers extensive
practical topics on Go for modern software architectures. It shows you
how to write Go in an intelligent, idiomatic way. After a brief
re-acquaintance with the key building blocks of Go, we will also explore
how we can build upon the unique capabilities of the language to write
effective, powerful code you can employ to develop software. We look at
packages, object-oriented programming, concurrency and reflection among
other things. Moreover, you will learn about Go’s awesome built-in
testing support feature. Along the way, build your skills in File
handling techniques, Go packages for databases, data serialization
approaches, message communications between Go services, and Go web
applications. Get your hands on with a plenty of illustrative code
samples, exercises and real-world scenarios that will help you build
your own application.
By the end of this course, you will be taught how to put this
enhanced knowledge to build a real-world Spaceship application all by
yourself with amazing features.
