Overview

About Golang Programming Language Training Course:

The whole Golang Programming Training course is taken on the Windows platform considering the large scale of Windows User. However, once can even install the Tar file for the Linux or the Dmg file for Mac and all the codes in the tutorials will work through easily without any code modification on either of the platforms.

This Golang programming language will take you through the basics till intermediate problems. Important parts in programming structures like the names, variables, assignments, and scopes have all been covered in the course. Following are the important Golang topics that will be covered in the Go programming language:

  • Command-Line Arguments.
  • Program Structures like names, declarations, variables, scope, and .assignments
  • Basic Data Types like the floats, integers, Booleans (true and false), constants and strings.
  • Arrays, slices, and Structs.
  • Function declarations, Recursion, function values, errors and function calls.
  • Method declarations, values and expressions.
  • Go Routines and Channels, parallel looping and concurrencies.
  • Shared variables, threads, and package declarations.

These are just a few out of all topics covered in the Golang Programming language training. You will be taught how to install different packages, the installer and how to work in the whole Golang environment.

Few of the examples which cannot be covered due to software limitations will be covered via a decent text editor. After this Golang Programming Training, you can easily start developing web applications on the go, and make it executable in Linux, Mac and Windows as well.

Since Golang Programming language was more specifically developed for writing networking servers, this course will heavily depend that you know at least some basics in any of the programming languages or at least the terminologies. This Golang Programming language training is more diverted towards developing web-related applications.

Golang or Go Language Programming is an open source language which is highly efficient at what it does. Golang Programming language is a high-level programming language which means it directly comes into the likes of Python, Ruby, and Perl. Since Golang Programming language is an open source language, it means that one can heavily modify its code and use it as you want since it has an Open-BSD style license.

Golang was developed by Google approximately 7 years back. Back then, the programming for Google Servers was extremely coded centric and it was quite difficult to maintain the tough low level of codes. Google development team wanted something which was different from C and C++ but had all the qualities from them.

They wanted something to be as precise, fast and efficient as C for a network server along with hassle-free code development; and that is the reason Golang Programming language was developed. The language in Go is more expressive than C or Java and even more efficient in compiling and executing codes. It is even more reliable in writing robust programs when compared to C, C++ or Java. Go programming was actually intended for people already working on C and C++, to make their life easier. But it was never meant for system programming.

Golang Programming language is almost similar to C and C++ but does all those things in 5-6 lines of code which a C program can do in up to 20 lines of code. You can actually say that Golang programming language is a more advanced or more specifically, an updated version of C. Besides, Golang not only borrows its code reliability from C but also borrows a lot of other ideas from other languages while avoiding chaos and complexity.

Since Golang Programming is an open source language, all of its tools like the compilers, the libraries are all freely available online to anyone. Golang runs on UNIX, Linux, Mac OSX and also on Windows. Programs written in Go programming are highly scalable and portable. Most Pieces of codes or applications written in one environment can be easily executed in other environments without any modifications. Golang is more suited for developing large infrastructural applications such as network servers and systems for engineers.

The Go Language is actually a combination of C, Pascal, Algol60 and the likes of it. As I stated previously, Golang was actually developed out of frustration by the Google developers. The developers at Google are extremely smart, no doubt in that. But according to Rob Pike, the official developer of Golang, he states that solving one problem is not an issue. But writing one complex solution to a problem, indirectly makes the whole problem complex and this leads to time management issues.

That is the main reason why Golang was developed. If you have any experience in programming languages, you will recognize that Golang is extremely flexible and also works efficiently with concurrencies. Golang is more or less an object-oriented language. Golang and its interpreter can be easily installed from golang(.)org.

It has an executable and an MSI installer for Windows platform. It has an authentic memory management or more preferably termed as garbage collection in programming. Golang programming language even has a GitHub repository where people from all around the world share their coded applications and it even has a large community to support for developers. Officially, the Golang has more than even 90,000 repositories on GitHub.

Why learn Golang Programming Training?

We have listed down few reasons, why you should learn the Golang Programming Training. Here are some of the reasons as follows for learning Golang Programming language training:

  • Golang programming installer comprises packages which are similar to that of libraries and modules of other languages. These packages consist of multiple files ending with the extension ‘. go’ which means they are Go executable files, and these source files are placed in their own directories stating as to what exactly the whole package does. Every other source file begins with the declaration of packages stating as to where the package actually belongs to which follows with a list of other included packages that can be imported via the package itself. The program declarations are all stored in that specific file. The basic Go Programming library has more than 100 packages which can perform simple tasks like giving input and output along with complex tasks such as advanced sorting and text manipulation. Example being, the fmt package contains the basic functions of scanning an input and printing the output.

  • Golang Programming language, through acts like C, it doesn’t need any semicolons or any other declarations at the end of statements to understand that. The main reason being when you compile the code, the newline that is printed when you pressed ‘Enter’ automatically gets converted into a semicolon when parsing the code. However, Go Programming has a strong discipline of formatting proper codes. All of this formatting is performed by the gofmt command. All the programs written in this code have been started with gofmt except one or two which it is seriously not needed. It is actually a good habit to make sure all the code goes through the gofmt command. Frankly speaking, all of this may seem a bit too much if you are a beginner, but practically speaking when you actually try out these codes, you will actually recognize the similarity of a lot of languages in Go. Go Programming can really be a good beginner learning language the main reason being it will give you a combined idea of a lot of programming languages. For example to say, if you start with a high-level language like python which is actually much easier than Go Programming, but still, you will miss out a lot of things between the batteries used and the magic happening between the codes. But if you start with a near to low-level languages like that of C or Java, you will actually go crazy compiling your first piece of code and most of your time will be spent on debugging them. That’s not the case with Go. The main reason being it has the simplicity of high-level languages along with the speed and efficiency of low-level language. This makes it easy to migrate to any other programming language. This is not the case with C, Java, Python or Ruby. A C developer will find Python rubbish because of the most of the things happening behind the scenes, whereas a Python developer will find C programming unnecessarily time to consume and hard. After learning to Go Programming, you can easily switch to any other programming language regardless of whether it’s high level or low level.

Requirements

There is actually no official pre-requisite for learning Golang Programming Training. As I have mentioned again and again that Golang itself can be a pre-requisite for learning any other languages.

However, if you are serious into getting deep with Golang programming language, learning C, C++, Java, Python or JavaScript along with Go Programming will help speed up your process of learning.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
