Go Foundation

Overview

Go Foundation delves into the conceptual and practical aspects of coding in Go. In this intensive three-day hands on course, engineers will learn the hows and whys of coding naturally in Go. The course deals with the most important features of Go programming and discusses best practices throughout, including many external references.

Developers will learn how Go is similar and how Go is different from other languages they may be familiar with (e.g. Java, C, C++, Python, C#, JavaScript, etc.). Day one begins with Go programming basics and gets developers up and running, covering topics such as installing Go, code and file layout, program construction, basic syntax, flow control and data design. Structs, functions, interfaces and abstraction are explored in day two, followed by error handing and related features.

Day three covers important intermediate concepts fundamental to using Go idiomatically including channels, Go routines, methods and advanced functions as well as testing go programs. Upon completion attendees will have a clear understanding of the core features of the Go language and the necessary preparation to develop real world programs in Go.
