In this 1.5-hour long guided project, you will get up to speed with the basics of the Go programming language. We will do this buy creating a command line interface airfare calculator step by step.

Go (also known as Golang) is a programming language that is created, supported, and used by Google and many major organizations for scalable applications. We will cover basic and custom data types, conditionals, flow control, loops, functions, scopes and packages. At the end at the project, you will be able to create useful applications using Go.

This course is aimed at learners who have basic programming experience with other modern programming languages. However, no experience with Go is required as we will be leveraging your knowledge from other languages to start from scratch.
