About the Course

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....

Great intro. If you already know the basics, you probably don't need this course though. Not much of a deep dive, more of a "skim the surface" type course. Week 4 on IO was the most beneficial for me.

Very detailed, nice introduction to golang's basic concepts. Might need to google to find better ways to handle some requirements of the assignments, but overall a cool programming language to learn.

Great explanations over all, but very theoretical in nature. Slides and presentations are fine for theory, but practical examples should be given with live coding videos.

Lecturer's explanation too vague even for intermediate listeners.

I wish there were actual coding exercises where the lecturer is solving at least one example problem.

The course assignments are good for learning the material, however many assignments (especially toward the end) have very unclear and confusing requirements.

It gives you the basics, but iI didn't like how it was structured.

No labs, only questions and peer review and the lessons were boring

Course is simple and to the point.

I believe automated assignments will help improve the rigor and remove variability in scoring.

Em alguns momentos o curso é muito superficial, vale a pena procurar sempre mais material depois da aula.

A bit messy, some examples do not work because of typos, explanations could be much clearer honestly

Me gustaría que tuviera más ejercicios con código y quizas clases más dinámicas

More examples can be added in the videos illustrating basic operations.

Completely theoretical course. Only assignments are coding practical.
