Challenges

Go is certainly one of the fastest languages to learn. The introduction tour is complete within a few hours, after which you will have already encountered all of the features of the language. However, there is still a long way to go before one is ready for the routine use of the tools and concepts. Especially if you are coming from another programming language, you tend to simply “translate” known concepts to Go, which does not usually produce satisfactory results. A deeper understanding of the language and its idioms will help you to address the unique language features and ultimately allow you to write better software.

Goal

The training will enable you or your team to:

  • Understand and write advanced Go applications
  • Write maintainable tests, especially for asynchronous code
  • Analyze your own code quality with common tools
  • Performance improvement through profiling

Target group

Development teams or developers who already have basic experience with Go and want to gain a deeper understanding of the programming language.

Prerequisites:

  • Familiarity with basic command line usage
  • Familiarity with a modern code editor
  • Familiarity with basic programming concepts/structures such as variables, loops, conditionals, etc.
  • Familiarity with basic Go syntax

Content

The individual topics will first be reviewed and discussed together in the group. Based on this, they will be worked on individually via a programming task. Joint discussion of possible solutions rounds off each topic block.
