IT Professional Curricula Software Development Solution Area Go Go Foundation For Beginners

Go is a language that attempts to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency, maintainability and safety of a statically typed, compiled language.

In this course, you'll explore the history of Go, why it was developed and how it is used across specific domains in the real world. Next, you'll discover the differentiating features of Go, and how Go differs from other programming languages. Youâll also explore the real world uses of Go, and the pros and cons. Youâll then explore the Go Playground web service to vet, compile, link, and run programs inside a sandbox Finally, you'll learn to configure a Go development environment, installing a code editor and the Go tools on a local development machine.
