Course Overview
Learn fundamentals of programming in the Go language
This course teaches the fundamentals of programming in the Go language. Go is a language suitable for a wide variety of tasks, from systems programming to writing web servers. In this course, we’ll learn the syntax of Go, but more importantly, how to “think in Go.” While many tasks can be performed in the same ways as they are done in other programming languages, there is usually a more streamlined solution offered by Go, and that’s what we’re here to learn.
This 3-hour course is divided into four units. Topics include:
- Installing Go and verifying the installation
- Finding package documentation
- Data types and program structure
- Functions
- Loops and conditional statements
- Arrays and slices
- Maps
- Structures and pointers
- New vs. Make
- Reference types and value types
- Buffered input and output
- Initialization
- Function types and closures
- Interfaces
I hope you join me for this exciting look into one of the most powerful and elegant languages there is!

1. The course is very much Linux-centric, but I'm using Windows 2. He has a disconcerting habit of rapidly scrolling up & down as he talks 3. Likewise, he bops around on the screen, saying things like "copy this" and "paste here" before I'm able to see what "this" and "here" means He has a good speaking voice with no accent except "Yankee." ;-) But the course is marred by his tendency to move around on the screen so quickly
