Getting Started with Go

Programming with Google Go,

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.

good intro

Good intro to golang basics, if you are not familiar with golang this would be a nice course for you.

Good intro to the topic.

Very good introduction to Go!

Good introduction - Easy to start Don't go enough deep on some topic like JSON where you can choose which field can be exported from a struct, or about tags, to make sure all the exported variables in JSON are lowercase as JSON don't like keys starting with capitals.

The quiz is really awesome Too much typos in the codes, misleading in some cases Great course, good introduction to Go.

Good introduction to Golang The material presented is beginner-friendly.

Great videos and lecturer.Simple to understand the concepts A very good introduction of the course, the teacher is very clear, there is some type mistake like on the struct declaration but everything is good!

easy to follow

The content is really well explained and easy to follow.

More like this by Irvine U Very easy to follow course.

Was easy to follow and I like that it assumes you had some programming already.

Meaningful exercises that really takes you through what has been covered and pushes you to delve deeper into relevant topics....loking forward to moving to next courses in this program Explained very clearly and easy to follow the tutorial.

So my suggestion for improvement is provide some guide for students in searching certain necessary APIs that maybe needed to complete assignments.This is not a course designed you to understand mechanisms of Golang internally but rather really, to "get started with basic Golang coding".

Very good course to get started with the Go Language.

peer review

My only complaint is with the peer review grading system.

And there is a somewhat big waiting time for the peer review process to finish.

The peer review was a bummer for me; I don't feel like I should pay for a course and have to grade others assignments.

If you don't care the certificate just follow and practice this guide https://tour.golang.org nice Very basic, suitable for people with no expertise in the field.

One of best course i encountered for teaching a new programming languages.People with none C programming background may feel trouble but with some effort you can easily catch up.

They say the course is for people with knows other programming languages, but the expected knowledge is very low.

Looking forward to take the other courses related to this one.

I've taken other courses (Odersky's Scala series) where grading is automated by unit tests.

At some other courses (e.g.
