Individually arrangedGo Programming Training
The Go programming language is an open-source project designed to improve developer productivity. Go is concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easier to write programs that fully utilize multicore and networked machines, while its innovative type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code, yet provides the convenience of garbage collection and run-time reflection. It is a fast, compiled, statically typed language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted one.
Who is this training for?
This course is designed for those who want to learn the basics of Go, explore best practices, and gain practical, hands-on knowledge. The training is focused on writing code — learning by doing. Participants will work alongside the instructor while learning new concepts and will then apply their knowledge through individual exercises. If you want to learn the language and explore Go’s use in building HTTP servers, microservices, or Kubernetes operators, this course is for you!
