Go Programming Essentials

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. When it comes to systems and application programming, choosing a programming language from a wide range of modern languages and environments is often challenging. Effective compilation, efficient execution, and effortless programming are three criteria that are not readily available in most mainstream languages. For this reason, Go, an open-source programming language, is fast gaining popularity among programmers. Programmers embrace Go to combine the ease of programming provided by an interpreted, dynamically-typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically-typed, compiled language. Programmers harness the potential of Go programming with its built-in concurrency model, robust standard library, and support for networked and multicore computing, making programming incredibly modern and unbelievably fast.  In the ​Go Programming Essentials journey, you will first explore the core principles of Go programming in the first track. The second track of the journey transitions towards working with Go’s advanced programming features. In the third and final track, you will learn how to create web applications and web services using Go standard libraries.​
