With my friend Miłosz, we've been working on a way for experienced developers to grasp Go quickly. After long evenings and weekends, we're ready to share our idea that we think is unique.
Many Go courses cover lots of details irrelevant to most developers. The difficulty level is chosen for developers with all levels of experience. Often, they consist of videos, which makes them long. Or they make you write code in the browser. We believe that it’s not the most optimal way of learning. We decided to approach this topic differently.
While learning and teaching new technologies, we found that implementing real-life projects incrementally is the best way to learn. We decided to recreate this method of learning, but in a more structured and automated way. We created a Go training for experienced developers, containing the most relevant knowledge. It quickly makes you comfortable writing Go code.
The training is made of 80 exercises based on real-life projects and examples. You write all the code in your local editor or IDE. Our CLI provides the boilerplate code for the exercise and fast feedback about your solution.
The first four modules are free after registration. The entire training is free for students (please check the FAQ[1] for details). We are not aware of any similar training out there. It would be great to hear your feedback!
