The Go Developer course is designed for those who want to master the Go programming language, one of the most sought-after tools in modern backend development. Go is used in high-load systems, microservices, DevOps tools, and cloud services (Google, Docker, Kubernetes, Netflix).

The course program is based on a practical approach: you will learn how to write productive and secure code, build API services, and work with databases, and in the end, you will create your own microservice web application.

Training format

  • Online classes and mentoring support
  • Theory + practice + project work
  • Tools: Go, Docker, Git, PostgreSQL, REST API, gRPC, Kubernetes
  • Final project: microservice application in Go
  • Support: code consulting, resume assistance, and interview preparation

Course duration

5–6 months (~ 160–180 hours of training)

3 months — learning the language and tools

1.5 months — project work

1 month — interview preparation

Recommended workload — 6–8 hours per week.

Course program

Topic 1. Introduction to Go

Objectives: understand the philosophy of the language and how it differs from other languages.

We will study:

  • The history of Go and its principles: simplicity, speed, reliability
  • Installing Go and setting up the environment (VS Code / GoLand)
  • Project structure. Modules and packages
  • First program and compilation

Practice:

Creating a simple CLI application, “Hello, Go!”.

Topic 2. Basic Go Syntax

Objectives: to master the basics of the language and data types.

We will study:

  • Data types and variables
  • Conditional constructs and loops
  • Arrays, slices, maps
  • Functions and multiple return values
  • Working with strings and input/output

Practice:

Writing a program to process user input and perform calculations.

Topic 3. Structures, interfaces, and the OOP approach

Objectives: master Go composition and interfaces.

We will study:

  • Structures and methods
  • Interfaces and behavior implementation
  • Embedding instead of inheritance
  • Errors and error handling (error, panic, recover)

Practice:

Creating a data model and interfaces for a mini-project.

Topic 4. Working with files and streams

Objectives: learn how to work with files, streams, and serialization.

We will study:

  • The os, io, bufio, and encoding/json packages
  • Working with JSON and CSV
  • Reading and writing files
  • Logging

Practice:

Application for reading and converting data from files.

Topic 5. Parallelism and goroutines

Objectives: understand the key advantage of Go — concurrency.

We will study:

  • Goroutines and channels
  • Data synchronization (mutex, waitgroup)
  • Worker pool and pipeline patterns
  • Execution context

Practice:

Implementing multithreaded data processing and a worker pool.

Topic 6. Working with databases

Objectives: learn how to connect to and use SQL databases.

We will study:

  • Connection via database/sql
  • Using drivers (PostgreSQL, MySQL)
  • ORM libraries (GORM)
  • Migrations and transactions

Practice:

Creating a CRUD application with a PostgreSQL database.

Topic 7. Web Development and REST API

Objectives: learn about web servers and routing.

We will study:

  • HTTP server in Go
  • Working with net/http packages and the Gin framework
  • RESTful architecture
  • Middleware and error handling

Practice:

Creating a REST API for managing entities (users, orders, etc.).

Topic 8. Testing and CI/CD

Objectives: to implement quality and automation in development.

We will study:

  • Unit tests, testing, and mock objects
  • Benchmark testing
  • Configuring CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
  • Docker and application containerization

Practice:

Configuring testing and CI pipeline for a project.

Topic 9. Microservices and gRPC

Goals: understand the architecture of microservices and the interaction between them.

We will study:

  • Microservices architecture
  • Introduction to gRPC and Protocol Buffers
  • Service interaction
  • Overview of Kubernetes and orchestration

Practice:

Creating and launching a microservice with a gRPC interface.

Topic 10. Final project

Objective: apply the entire Go technology stack in practice.

Project:

Developing a microservice web application in Go with REST API, database, Docker environment, and CI/CD.

Final stage — preparing for employment

  • Review of key topics (Go, SQL, REST, Docker)
  • Preparing for technical interviews
  • Resume writing with an HR mentor
  • Job search and support until the first offer

Cost and format

  • Full cost: $6,500
  • Installment plan: $1,100 per month × 6 months
  • Format: online, with a mentor and support

    First module — free of charge.
