Course Overview
A comprehensive introduction to developing fast & secure web applications in GO (beginners & fairly advanced developers)
You are invited on an exciting journey where you will learn, with guidance, to use Google's GO programming language to develop modern web applications that are highly scalable in both depth and scope. You'll take advantage of the extraordinary capabilities GO holds for full-stack developers to build all sorts of server/client-based applications.
This course is intended as a rich resource for learning programming basics as well as concepts in general and developing modern and fast web application with Google's GO (golang) programming language in particular - a comprehensive learning experience.
The easiest way to learn new programming techniques and modern concepts in software design is to apply them using real-life examples. In this course you will learn how to plan, implement, test, debug and finally install a modern web application - a homepage for renting out bungalows as vacation homes - on a web server.
You will learn about the advantages of the GO programming language and, on the way to a working application, how to integrate other elements such as SQL/PostgreSQL databases, JavaScript (client-side and server-side), AJAX techniques, HTML, CSS and how to use essential tools for full-stack developers.
Besides programming in GO, this course also deals with
HTML5 / CSS / DOM
JavaScript (Vanilla, without jQuery dependence)
SQL / PostgreSQL
Migrations / FIZZ
JSON
Routes, Handlers, Models
Tests, Error Handling
Linux (bash), Windows (Command Line), macOS (bash)
git / github
Installation on a webserver
and much more
While suitable for beginners with basic programming experience, it is designed to be a resource for fairly advanced developers. It's filled with examples, explanations, and clarifications of concepts needed to develop modern, fast and secure web applications, and comes with a code repository on Github and a detailed course outline as PDF, which serves as part of the course.

You can get great value from this course and, more importantly, you'll have a great time learning one of the best programming languages ever - the GO programming language, the fastest growing programming language with the highest paid programmers in the US within the last years.
GO is an open-source programming language that makes it easy to develop simple, reliable, and efficient software.
GO was developed by computer science luminaries at one of the best, if not the best, software development companies ever - Google. The design and implementations are by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson.
GO is a very good choice for learning a programming language because it was developed by some of the same people who created the C programming language, Unix, and UTF-8 - some of the most influential contributions to computer science. With GO Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson created a modern programming language that can easily run on multiple processors in parallel, works smoothly in different environments, and makes it easy for programmers to write programs with a very streamlined and user-friendly syntax.
Why did Google develop a new programming language?
In Google's words, "GO was born out of frustration with existing languages and environments for systems programming. Programming had become too difficult and the choice of languages was partly to blame. One had to choose either
efficient compilation,
efficient execution, or
ease of programming;
all three were not available in the same mainstream language. Programmers who could were choosing ease over safety and efficiency by moving to dynamically typed languages such as Python and JavaScript rather than C++ or, to a lesser extent, Java. GO is an attempt to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language. It also aims to be modern, with support for networked and multicore computing.
Finally, working with GO is intended to be fast: it should take at most a few seconds to build a large executable on a single computer. To meet these goals required addressing a number of linguistic issues: an expressive but lightweight type system; concurrency and garbage collection; rigid dependency specification; and so on. These cannot be addressed well by libraries or tools; a new language was called for."
Learn with me the advantages in web programming of one of the best programming languages ever developed. You will get knowledge, ideas, concepts, inspiration and code examples to design software and applications yourself according to your wishes.

This course is a COMPLETE COPY PASTE (up until certain chapters) of another course, properly coded and taught by Trever Sawler. This course follows the exact lesson structure, words, function names, exact code of the other course, and is muuuuch slower just to increase course learning time for marketing purposes.

Super Themenauswahl und passende Entwicklung des Kurses (was ich bisher in der Übersicht mitbekommen habe). Genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Perfektes Konzept, nicht nur einfach so dahingeklatscht, sondern wohl überlegt.

I wanted a course that would take an absolute beginner's approach to web development in Go, and I find the structure and pacing achieves that purpose.

The course has a lot of content, but that is all it has. I hope my review will change when i somehow try to follow through, because it is impossible to watch, the author is really struggling with speaking. I won't ask for a refund but this is really ridiculous. I know there were a few videos in the overview, it looks like he picked out a few of them where he sounds coherent, because what i am watching now is just tough to watch. So many hhhh, ooohh, aamm, yea, yeah, no context no explanation, he just types away so you better be awesome at go before you jump in this. When he wants to delete something he says "i put out this here", when something is new or different it is "some different here", when showing how to add data to templates he says "i have here to put in the back" COME ON!!!!!, then for {{}} he calles them "curlies", "double curly brackets" and "double curly braces" can't you just decide on one name and use it, let's not even say they are not brackets, and more (similar) speaking difficulties, omg...terrible experience. Also in the first section where he shows web app basics, he jumps into cashing for about 2,5 hours he talks about that and codes, with a lot of code that is again impossible to understand, no explanation just jumps from one place to another. No q&a questions are answered. Now let's see if my review will be visible. I bet it will be hidden. Well done Udemy for quality of content.
