This course is an introduction to the Go language for absolute beginners. It covers all the essential topics that are necessary to start coding in Go.

In this section, you will be introduced to the Go programming language and learn how to create variables and constants. You will also learn how to do operations with values and manipulate variable values.

In this section, we will learn about the different types of data in Go. We will learn how to deal with different Data Types and some basic operations that can be performed on that data.

In this section, we will learn about some important concepts which allow us to control the flow of the program. These concepts or features of a programming language are collectively known as Control Structures. In order to learn about these concepts, we need some knowledge of some additional operators, which we will explore at the beginning of this section.

In this section, we will learn about functions which are the building blocks of any programming language. We will learn how to create different kinds of functions and how to use them. We will also learn about scopes of variables which will help us in working with functions.

In this section, we will learn about a very useful data type called Array that can be used for tasks where we need to store a bigger quantity of similar data and some other cases as well. Will will learn how to create, use and manipulate arrays. Additionally, we will also learn how to use arrays to pass a variable number of arguments into a function. In this section, we will also learn about slices which are similar to arrays however differ in fundamental quality.

Why people choose Codefinity for their career

Kwizera Mugisha

The teaching methodology at Codefinity is excellent, and I particularly appreciate how it has prepared me to handle real-world coding problems. Currently, I am delving into Node.js and eagerly anticipate building full-stack projects that integrate all the knowledge I have gained.

Sherry Barnes-Fox

My first course was 4 hours, I did it in a few days, "nugget-style. The instructions are very clear and easy to understand. There is even a hint to help you get the answer, and if you still cannot get the answer, then you can display the answer. I love the learning style that is used, it engages me.

Bill Wagner

I have really liked the browser-based lessons that allow me to code within the lesson. The RUN button allows me to test the code I write before submitting for a grade.

Stephanie Chan

As I went through the first course of the Python track, I liked the way the course was lay out (in easy and digestible modules) with little exercises at the end of each concept.

Daniel Chinea

I have gained a lot of practical and logical thinking skills, along with patience for myself and confidence in myself that I can learn programming.

Steve Bruening

The learning was progressive and made it easy to follow along and make progress. I could feel my skills increasing and building on each other as the course went along.

I am pleased by the course. Content is clear, the examples are easy to understand and allow own experiments. AI had answered very well to my question. I would gladly recommend for younger people, to learn basics.

Overall pretty good. Can work on speed and a few glitches with hints and solutions. Right-hand panel hidden status is not maintained between chapters.
