Go is fairly young language. It was developed inhouse by Google and one of the reasons it was developed was that the founding fathers of Go we're not happy where C++ and Java had brought them. The 'old' languages lacked support for multicore/multithread systems and were not developed to work in heavilly networked environments. Also they didn't make any improvement to developer productivity. Did I mention how many cups of coffee you can drink while compiling a large C++ code base? Go is going to change that for you.
By the way, the founding fathers of Go have earned there merits in B (predecessor of C language) and the UNIX and famous PLAN9 operating systems.
Did you know that GO is the language in which alot of modern tools and systems you love nowadays are programmed?
Let me sum up a few of them:
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- Helm
- CockroachDB
- MongoDB
- Etc
What you will learn:
- Understanding the Basics: Gain a solid understanding of Go's basic syntax, data types, variables, and control structures. Develop proficiency in writing simple Go programs and learn to leverage the language's simplicity and readability to express ideas effectively.
- Mastering Go's Concurrency Model: Explore Go's powerful concurrency features, including goroutines and channels. Learn to write concurrent programs that can execute multiple tasks concurrently, effectively utilizing Go's lightweight threads (goroutines) and synchronization mechanisms (channels) to avoid race conditions and ensure safe concurrent execution.
- Utilizing Go's Standard Library: Familiarize yourself with the extensive standard library provided by Go. Learn to leverage its pre-built packages for various common tasks such as networking, file handling, encryption, and JSON encoding/decoding. Develop the ability to effectively utilize these packages to simplify and enhance your Go programs.
- Building Web Applications: Learn to develop web applications using Go. Understand the fundamentals of web development in Go, including handling HTTP requests and responses, routing, working with templates, and integrating with databases. Build practical web applications to solidify your understanding of web development concepts in Go.
- Creating Efficient and Performant Programs: Gain insights into Go's performance characteristics and best practices for writing efficient code. Learn optimization techniques, memory management, and profiling tools to ensure that your Go programs are well-optimized and performant.
- Testing and Debugging: Acquire skills in testing and debugging Go applications. Understand the importance of unit testing, learn to write testable code, and explore the testing framework provided by Go. Develop proficiency in debugging techniques and tools to effectively identify and resolve issues in your Go programs.
- Embracing Best Practices: Learn industry best practices for Go programming, including code organization, project structure, naming conventions, and documentation. Understand how to write idiomatic Go code and adhere to the Go community's coding style guidelines.
- Exploring Advanced Topics: Delve into advanced Go topics such as reflection, interfaces, concurrent patterns, and advanced data structures. Expand your knowledge and skills to tackle more complex programming challenges using Go.
- Building Real-World Projects: Apply your knowledge by working on hands-on projects that simulate real-world scenarios. Develop practical problem-solving skills, gain experience in working with external libraries and APIs, and build a portfolio of projects that showcase your proficiency in Go programming.
- Engaging with the Go Community: Discover the vibrant Go community and engage in discussions, forums, and open-source projects. Learn how to leverage community resources, contribute to the Go ecosystem, and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the language.
- By the end of the course, you should have a strong foundation in Go programming, enabling you to confidently develop applications, understand Go's unique features, write efficient code, and actively participate in the growing Go community.
Course Requirements
To effectively engage in our Go training, a basic understanding of programming concepts is beneficial. While Go is known for its simplicity and beginner-friendly nature, having a foundation in programming principles can help learners grasp the concepts more easily. Some prior knowledge that can be helpful includes:
- Basic Programming Concepts: Familiarity with fundamental programming concepts like variables, data types, control structures (e.g., loops, conditionals), functions, and basic algorithms will provide a solid starting point for learning Go.
- Syntax and Language Constructs: While Go has a clean and intuitive syntax, having experience with another programming language can help in quickly understanding and adapting to Go's specific syntax and language constructs.
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts: Although Go is not an object-oriented language, having a basic understanding of object-oriented programming concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism can be beneficial, as it provides a broader perspective on software development principles.
Customizations
- Upon request of many of our customers we can (and have) delivere(d) this course also fully customized to the customer's needs and environment. For example we can add a 1 or 2 days to train developers how to work with the K8S API or how to write Operators for K8S in Go.
This extraordinary training is currently exclusively available via our class-room, live online or on-site experience.
