Good course. Short but succinct.

There's a lot of nice comments and insight about the features of Go that you typically cannot find in most tutorial videos or online resources apart from the official Go documentation. You often have to be mentored by a senior developer or have extensive hours in the language to get such information like the why and how to use each feature of Go and even how they compare to similar features in other languages.

Go was a tough one for me, it had subtle differences to languages that I was used to already like python, or C. but had new syntax that was explicit and that was a learning curve for sure. But once I got my mind wrapped around it, it really wasn't bad and had some very useful syntactic sugar that made for loops, and error handling pretty nice.

I went from knowing nothing about Go to being able to break down Go Code and solve basic problems using Go now instead of Python.

Great course for learning the basics in Go. The learning is really enjoyable with assignments that resemble real situations. The selection on external documentation suits fine without overwhelming the lessons.
