Go is an open source project developed by a team at Google and many contributors from the open source community. It combines the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language. If you are leveraging Go to create applications on the job or on your own, attending this course will help you understand how Go works, and immediately be more productive. If you are building a team using Go, this will be a great opportunity to get your team on the same page and speaking the same language. The materials and presentation focus on teaching students how to write clear and robust code to create real-world solutions. Innovative lab exercises and code samples are provided to reinforce skills and quickly master the topics. This course includes a four hour optional project that creates a real-world application by utilizing key features of Go learned during the class. Students will create an application that will model an online, interactive exam. The application will be developed in a series of steps. Each step will include features that follow the progression of skills and features learned in the class.
