    About the Course

    Learn the basics of Go, an open source programming language originally developed by a team at Google and enhanced by many contributors
    from the open source community. This course is designed for individuals with previous programming experience using such languages as C,
    Python, or Java, and covers the fundamental elements of Go. Topics include data types, protocols, formats, and writing code that incorporates
    RFCs and JSON. Most importantly, you’ll have a chance to practice writing Go programs and receive feedback from your peers. Upon
    completing this course, you'll be able to implement simple Go programs, which will prepare you for subsequent study at a more advanced level.

    Great intro. If you already know the basics, you probably don't need this course though. Not much of a deep dive, more of a "skim the surface" type course. Week 4 on IO was the most beneficial for me.

    Very detailed, nice introduction to golang's basic concepts. Might need to google to find better ways to handle some requirements of the assignments, but overall a cool programming language to learn.

    Concepts like slices should be given more air time to help course takers better understand the data structure.
