Share Description
As Moore's Law approaches its end of lifecycle, the need for concurrency grows, as does the need for a programming language that enables effective implementation of concurrent programmes. As a result, Go has recently become one of the most popular programming languages. This course is designed to give beginners a thorough introduction to Go. It also articulates how Go differs from traditional programming languages that programmers are accustomed to in order to familiarise programmers who are about to dive into Go with the language.
