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.

As a experienced developer wanting to delve into Go, I found the content great. If the assignment descriptions were less ambiguous, this would be a 5 star.

Good, but I had to learn from other resources how to manage my source files, packages and go modules, it would've been nice to have this in the course

Great Course, really enjoyed the lectures! I think the assignments may need to reviewed and made slightly more detailed as there are some ambiguities.

It was a good course but I found out that at one place, syntax was wrong and for complete code I was forced to look up on the internet many times.

Needs updating. Should point to the Go Language's stdlib documentation. I liked how it kind of let you discover how to write the assignments.

Course is good. Peer reviews aren't great. You could have a bot do what other students do. I'd prefer someone experienced to mark my work.

サンプルコードで結構大事なところを間違っていたりして、全体的に作り込みは甘い印象。

単純なプログラミング課題なのにピアレビューの形式を採用しているのはマイナス。

イラつくところもあるがGo言語の基本は学べる。

Go言語と直接関係のないビデオは、興味が無ければ飛ばすと良いだろう。

Fast introudction to the basics of GO. The instructions for the assigments are at times very vauge in terms of what is being requested.

The course was really helpful the only thing is it would be great to cover how to take inputs from the user in various formats.

Peer reviews are sometimes incorrect. One should have an option to get it reviewed again or challenge the already done review.

there are some syntax errors present in the slides and concept taught in the course is not enough to complete some projects .

A nice course designed to deep dive into the basics and also to make sure that some features of the language are also covered.

A lot of ground covered - very enjoyable hands on coding experience with an excellent professor with a nice teaching style!

the course is helpful but to experienced programmer, it has some minor flaws in it but overall it is a good starting point

Peer Evaluated assignments are useless, but the professor teaching method and the course itself is worth the time spent

Some assignments descriptions like string with size 20, were not clear/maybe copied from other language assignments.

i think teacher should give more example, the exercise needs some package, command that wasn't mentioned in course

los compañeros me calificaron mal solo por el idioma teniendo sin tener en cuenta que los algoritmos estaban bien.

I think more hands on tasks could be introduced, and more code examples (at least as a supplementary reading?)

The target of the assignment is not accurate enough, suggest it could be defined as precise as possible.

Great Content if you have experience with another programming language and you want to start using Go!

Good intro to the topic. Still, there was a lot of room for interpretation in the course assignments.

It's better to have like this course on laptop. It will help students learn more with developing.
