What people are saying
web development
I my case, I have 15 years of experience working with web development, so most things presented here was just a check for me to see how it is done in Go.
This course is for biggners, not in go, but at web development at all.
I was happy to learn enough web development in golang to allow me to go grab a course elsewhere that may have had a full blown walk through of a real world project.
My 2 cents: A comprehensive course on web development with golang would include: - Authentication single/multi tenant & multi user authentication and management e.g: admin/non admin users with different views, password recovery, user email invite etc... - Web sockets - Caching - Integration of front-end frameworks like Vue.js, react etc... - Microservices / REST API development - GRPC - Essential third party tools like a router such as Gin or framework like Buffalo - PDF report creation - Graph generation from app data using D3 or some other library - Google map integration Just some thoughts!
If you are at all interested in learning more about web development, or even just networking, definitely take this course.
Web development cannot be limited to creating a http server and deploying a basic site.
In this course you will be taking a deep dive into Web Development using the Go programming language and will work extensively with MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
Really nice and well structured course which tackles all of the things needed in web development.
It's very useful course, the instructor is well informed and is giving everything, I recommend this course to anyone wants to get started with web development.
Very good introductory course to web development.
I recommend this course to anyone wanting to learning web development with GoLang.
Besides Go syntax and web development libraries, it touches some other stuff necessary for a real-world programming like databases and deployment procedures/tools.
If you're newbie to web development and have interest in learning Go, look no further - this is a course for you.
Please include a section where you do a walk through of some open source repository that is in production so that we can understand the best practices of golang web development and the methodologies that are followed.

highly recommend
Highly recommend him as an instructor and this course as well.
I highly recommend this course (after completed Todd's other Go course first of course:))!
I highly recommend taking this outstanding course!
I can highly recommend this course to everyone.
The course covers important parts of the GO language and still complements with a small class of SQL, NoSQL, AWS, Docker, GCloud and Git enough that you can understand how these tools work and how to use them along with GO, which allows you to create Powerful applications in GO, over these six months of studies I learned a lot from Todd because in addition to a very explanatory content he still proportions a huge list of exercises for fixing the content of his videos, I see that few teachers have this zeal with they courses, so I highly recommend this course.
I highly recommend it!
Highly recommend!
Highly recommend if you like this style of lecture and pacing.
Highly recommend it.
Highly recommend this!
I've taken each of his previous 2 courses (Both of which I highly recommend) and this course absolutely will depend on those courses or at least some prior knowledge of Go.

for web dev
If you want to understand more of the inner workings of Go for web dev, it's a great course.
This course is good, specially if you are new for web development.
awesome course and teacher - covering a lot of essential web development stuff - really good for web development novices - lot of thanks to Todd!!
Really great course about Go for web development.
If you like Golang and you want to use it for web development, before you pick a framework or even a router, take this course.
Learning a ton of really great foundations for web dev in Go.
Good course if you are looking to get comfortable with Go for web dev and are familiar with web dev already.
I've been using K&R ANSI C for several years now so using GoLang for Web Development is exciting and keeps me on my toes so I can stay up with what the industry is doing, as well as what my sons talk about.
The best course for web dev with Golang!
Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn Go for Web dev.
Interesting and good for web development with more database Highly recommended!

easy to follow
The teaching method is great and easy to follow and understand.
The review was great, and it is easy to follow what the teacher is talking.
easy to follow.
good course easy to follow The bad then the good.
As a new Go learner I tried different cources and lectures online and I found this one really smooth and easy to follow and understand the language, I like the instructor’s approach when he stars from standard library doc to explain funtions and method then he jump to code, which really helpful.
Easy to follow explanations and examples.

covers a lot
It covers a lot of areas that are popular nowadays.
This is not a quick course to get through, it covers a lot, but if you're up to the challenge you'll end up with a good base knowledge and understanding of how to do web development in Go.
It's really extensive and covers a lot of ground!
Quite in-depth lessons and covers a lot of areas.

hands-on exercises
Nice mix of teaching content and hands-on exercises.
Working thru the hands-on exercises and excuting each of the lecture examples provided a solid understanding of the Go language and practical examples of how it could be used for WebDev work.
I guess that it is quite nice way to teach, but I think that a few more hands-on exercises will be really nice there (especially with input forms) It's amazing how learning a new language with such a good instructor can improve your programming skill even in other languages.
And those hands-on exercises are gold!
Hands-on exercises and sample code repos are very helpful.
Description of hands-on exercises is not complete.

laid back
I really enjoy his laid back but thorough explanations.
Thanks Laid back style, buckets of good information... deserves all of the great reviews.
The instructor is laid back and easy to understand and the resources on github and challenges and thorough and challenging.

Greates course on Go Programming Love how the teacher explain things clearly, and make it easy to understand The instructor is entertaining, I like his laid back style Very comprehensive.

real world
The exercises are boring and too easy and not really relevant to real world situations.
Building a "real world" application and learning to use popular libraries would teach us valuable skill we could use in everyday development.
I would be willing to purchase a course which has a real world example walked through in it's entirety.
Would have liked some additional content on building real world web apps though.
I'm already able to apply the acknowledgment in the real world.
Todd is awsome lacking a little bit of inter communication in real world but has a way of making things simple and understandable.

best practices
Pretty good basics, but few best practices.
The course should speak more about best practices while writing code using Go as well.
He gave you a deep knowledge about other cutting edge technologies and best practices.
Would be awsome to see a follow up in go best practices and design patterns, e.g.

too fast
Only complaint is sometimes things are cruised through too fast but for this you can go back and rewatch the video slowly.
In the first few lectures, Todd was changing screens too fast to see the results on his shell.
Instructor give's really good general advice you show result from the compiler too fast :| Exactly what I needed.
Love the instructor Examples are too fast The educator is not sympathetic Todd is awesome !
