Class Central Tips
Learn the basics of Go, an open source programming language originally developed by a team at Google and enhanced by many contributors from the open source community. This course is designed for individuals with previous programming experience using such languages as C, Python, or Java, and covers the fundamental elements of Go. Topics include data types, protocols, formats, and writing code that incorporates RFCs and JSON. Most importantly, you’ll have a chance to practice writing Go programs and receive feedback from your peers. Upon completing this course, you'll be able to implement simple Go programs, which will prepare you for subsequent study at a more advanced level.

  • Abhijith Gopal

    Abhijith Gopal completed this course, spending 2 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.

    The lectures are decent but very little attention has been paid to the assignments; The assignment leaves a lot of the things open which makes it hard to figure out what exactly one is supposed to code up.

    The course is definitely worth not a single dime. Its ridiculously light content spread across 4 weeks can be completed in couple of hours without breaking any sweat. The assignments are like an afterthought that are shockingly poor in quality. I can't believe I was so dumb that I watched all of the videos in the hope that I might find something useful.

    I think this course will be very useful for me. Because I love learning new things. I plan to get a master's degree in Europe in the future. My biggest dream is to win the Nobel Prize. I want to be a useful person for the world.
