LinkedIn – Learning Go 2025-1

Learning Go course. This course helps participants learn the basics of the Go programming language (known as Golang) and build applications using the GitHub Codespaces development environment. The language is especially popular for developing command-line applications, web services, and cloud services. The course teaches basic concepts such as variables, sets, conditional logic, and loops. Instructor David Gassner also covers practical applications of Go, including file management, retrieving and processing web content, and working with JSON data. As a ready-made cloud development environment, GitHub Codespaces provides hands-on practice without the need for complex setup, and users can access professional development tools from any device, at any time. To learn how to use this environment, the course includes a section called Using GitHub Codespaces.
