Description

A Learning Path is a specially tailored course that brings together two or more different topics that lead you to achieve an end goal. Much thought goes into the selection of the assets for a Learning Path, and this is done through a complete understanding of the requirements to achieve a goal.

Go is a multi-paradigm programming language that has built-in facilities to simplify the development of modern applications. You can create concurrent applications and it is particularly useful in developing cloud-native applications as it’s convenient, occupies a low footprint, and deploys fast.

This Learning Path is architected to teach you interesting tools, frameworks, and techniques that you can use to leverage the benefits of working with Go to develop your applications. You will begin to get familiar with the tools to build web applications, microservices, command-line applications, and much more. Once you are comfortable with developing your apps, you will then learn some amazing tips, tricks & techniques to improve the code quality of your projects. Moving further, you will learn to troubleshoot your Go application to prevent crashes in production by remembering just a few simple techniques and effortlessly surmount the hurdles and become more productive quickly, writing fast, and stable code.

By the end, you will have gained a solid foundation of Go as well as the skills to make your applications more robust and resilient.
