I knew nothing about Go at the start of this course, but now I feel comfortable enough to start writing some programs using it. The course does a great job at using the things that you have learned in previous courses to make it as easy as possible to get your feet wet with Go.

This was a great course, 90% of it felt familiar and easy due to Memory Management with C, a previous course The remainder was challenging, but new skills just are, worth doing in order to pick up the benefits of Go

The "Learn Go" course was a fun, basic intro to the language. The exercises were evocative and not usually taxing. I'm a Go newbie, and it was at a "just right" level to get me comfortable with reading the code. Looking forward to more Go.
