Best Go paid course

[Ahmed Adly]

Hello friends,

I'm an engineer with some good background in different programming languages like dotnet and Spring boot, also I have focused on web (mainly react) for the past few years, I also have `basic` knowledge in Go.

Now i need to take the next level in Go and build some large scale API application with multiple database backends and 3rd party API integration (mostly rest). 

So i'm thinking to buy a course that gives me the jumpstart, especially in areas like concurrency and performance optimization, I would appreciate any recommendation for a paid course and hope that such course already exists.

Best,

Ahmed

Ahmed,

I would recommend two pairs of resources. First, if you want to build your level of Go above the basic, get "Learning Go" by Jon Bodner, and check out his Safaribooks Online "Go in 3 Hours" video. Once you're solid there, look at William "Bill" Kennedy's "Ultimate Go Course, 2nd edition" on Safaribooks Online. There is an "Ultimate Go notebook" that parallels the course.

Coursera has a specialization on Go, from UCB. That might interest you as well. If you did that, I would put it between Jon's book/course and Bill's. The UCB course is better if you have a decent introduction to the langauge before starting.

Based on this recommendation, I started Bill's class and got the book. I like the class a lot.
Thanks for the post
