About Course
🧑💻 Course Introduction: Getting Started with Go Programming
In this course, you’ll be introduced to Go, a programming language created in 2007 by three engineers at Google. They set out to solve large-scale engineering challenges with a language that offered fast compilation, efficient execution, and was easy to write and maintain. No existing language at the time met all those needs—so they built one. That marked the beginning of Go.
