Our Go Programming training course will give developers a solid working knowledge of the Go programming language, through useful and relevant hands-on exercises. Delegates will work in pairs where appropriate, and Best Practices will be observed throughout.
The Go language (frequently referred to as Golang) is another of Google's hatchlings which has taken flight and found its own way in the world as a popular Open Source project.
As well as Google itself, many notable organisations using Go behind the scenes include Canonical (of Ubuntu fame), BBC World News, SoundCloud, Nokia Siemens Networks, CloudFlare and Bit.ly.
Some of the key reasons developers say they love Go:
Anyone who is looking to learn to program using the Go language, leveraging the rapid application development capabilities of Go, as well as the scalable, commercial-quality functional aspects of the language.
The public scheduled Go Programming course assumes some programming experience, and any skills in Object Oriented languages (such as C, Java, C# or Python) will be a definite boon.
We are very happy to tailor delivery of the course to best suit your audience, for closed / on-site Go training courses. A variant of the workshop can be used to introduce people to programming fundamentals (useful for instance for graduate in-take schemes). Alternatively we can amp up the intensity of the workshop for those who have some experience of Go and want to become better.
Introducing the workshop, the leader, the particpants, and the Go programming language and workflow.
Tackling a small, self-contained, straightforward problem or three to ensure setup and workflow.
Many programming languages rely on exceptions for error handling. Go has eschewed these (except for the panic exception to terminate execution) in favour of error codes returned to callers. In this session we will ensure we "get into" the mind-set.
Go does not have the concept of classes and inheritance, but instead allows methods to be added to a data structure to create an object-based way of working.
Go's apporach to polymorphism centers on the use of interface and programming to interfaces.
Arguably Go main USP (unique selling point), and perhaps its most important features, is its goroutines and channels. In this session we will tackle some classic problems to investigate a number of different solutions to problems, and end up showing that dataflow is generally the architecture for solving most problems.
Go is currently getting most traction in problems relating to networking. In this session we will find out why. Node, Vert.x, Tornado, etc. really just cannot compete with Go for easy to create, maintainable, and supremely performant network-focused systems.
Go distributions come with a large number of very high quality bits and pieces allowing us to create a very large number of applications. It is not however a "batteries included" distribution, there are a large number of very high quality packages not part of the distribution but they are part of the overall milieu. In this session we will tackle some problems for which we will need extra bits and pieces. In turn we will create something that could be useful to others.
So far the problems tackled will have been relatively small. Now is the time to get bigger. In this session we will create full applications, and show that this is straighforward and quick with the Go infrastructure, workflow and language.
Not really to say goodbye, more au revoir. This workshop is a springboard for using Go for applications and infrastructure, learning more Go, and being welcomed by the world-wide Go community.

"We were given plenty of opportunity to write and discuss code during the course which meant we were learning the theory via hands-on practical work. This is definitely my favoured way of learning!"
