Introduction to GoLang

1. Getting Started

In this section, you will be introduced to the Go programming language and learn how to create variables and constants. You will also learn how to do operations with values and manipulate variable values.

What is Go Programming Language?

Hello World

Comments in Go

Basics of Variables

Modifying Variable Values

Constants

Basics of Operators & Expressions

Challenge: Hello World

Challenge: Comments in Go

Challenge: Basics of Variables

Challenge: Constants

2. Data Types

In this section, we will learn about the different types of data in Go. We will learn how to deal with different Data Types and some basic operations that can be performed on that data.

Integers

Floating-Point Numbers

Challenge: String Formatting Practice

3. Control Structures

In this section, we will learn about some important concepts which allow us to control the flow of the program. These concepts or features of a programming language are collectively known as Control Structures. In order to learn about these concepts, we need some knowledge of some additional operators, which we will explore at the beginning of this section.

Comparison Operators

Conditional Statements

Challenge: Practicing For Loop

4. Functions

In this section, we will learn about functions which are the building blocks of any programming language. We will learn how to create different kinds of functions and how to use them. We will also learn about scopes of variables which will help us in working with functions.

Declaring and Defining Functions

Local and Global Scopes

Passing Data into the Functions

Return Values from Functions

Multiple Return Values

Passing Functions as Arguments

Challenge: Reviewing Concepts of Functions

5. Arrays and Slices

In this section, we will learn about a very useful data type called Array that can be used for tasks where we need to store a bigger quantity of similar data and some other cases as well. Will will learn how to create, use and manipulate arrays. Additionally, we will also learn how to use arrays to pass a variable number of arguments into a function. In this section, we will also learn about slices which are similar to arrays however differ in fundamental quality.

Declaring Arrays

Accessing and Modifying Array Elements

Slices

Length vs Capacity

Multi-Dimensional Arrays

Iterating Over Arrays

Passing Variable Number of Arguments into Functions

Passing Arrays into Functions

Challenge: Finding the Largest Element in a Grid

6. Intro to Structs & Maps

In this section, we will learn about two very useful data types, namely Structs (Structures) and Maps.

Creating Structs

Creating Instances of Structs

Data in Structs

What are Maps?

Map Declaration and Initialization

Accessing Map Values

Deleting Keys From Maps

Challenge: Creating a Structure

What is Go Programming Language?

Go, also known as Golang, is a modern programming language created by Google in 2007. It is a relatively recent language that has gained popularity in recent years, especially in the field of web development.

Go was designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, making it a popular choice for building high-performance applications. It has a clean syntax and is easy to read, write, and maintain, making it an excellent language for beginners to learn.

In addition, Go also enables the execution of multiple processes simultaneously (concurrency), which can be a very helpful feature in various applications.

Golang is very useful in the following areas:

Web Development: Go is used to create fast and scalable web applications; it is widely used in backend development;
Networking: Go is suitable for building network-related tools and protocols;
Cloud Services: Go is also employed in developing cloud-based services and applications;
Data Processing: Go is effective for building data processing systems and real-time stream processing;
Internet of Things (IoT): Go is well-suited for developing firmware and managing IoT devices.
