Go 101 - Golang Essentials
Code: Go (Golang)
Duration: 5 Day
$2395 USD

OVERVIEW

Go is designed to be concise, clean, and efficient. It is easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the feel of a dynamically typed, interpreted language.

In this very hands-on 5-day class, particularly relevant for system admins, network, cloud, or storage engineers, you’ll learn how to use Go to craft enterprise solutions.
