Functional and Modular Programming
Define and use functions with multiple return values and error handling
Create modular applications using packages and interfaces
Work with structs, slices, maps, and pointers effectively
Robust Error Handling
Master Go’s idiomatic error handling techniques
Use panic and recover safely in critical applications
Build custom error types and wrap errors for better context
Concurrency Made Easy
Launch concurrent tasks using goroutines
Communicate safely using channels
Use synchronization tools like WaitGroups and Mutexes
Apply concurrency patterns like worker pools and fan-in/fan-out
Data Processing and File Handling
Read/write files and streams using os, io, and bufio
Parse and generate JSON with encoding/json
Use slices, structs, and maps to process complex data
Develop Real Web Applications
Build HTTP servers and REST APIs using Go’s standard net/http package
Define routes, handle requests/responses, and parse query parameters
Serve static files and add middleware logic
Testing, Debugging & Performance
Write table-driven unit tests
Use Go’s testing and benchmarking tools
Analyze performance using go test -bench, profiling, and race detectors
Understand and fix memory leaks or race conditions
Project Structuring & Best Practices
Organize large Go projects with clean, idiomatic architecture
Work with Go Modules for dependency management
Follow Go community conventions for naming, formatting, and error handling
By the End of This Course, You Can:
Build CLI apps, RESTful APIs, and microservices in Go
