Bridge the gap between basic understanding of Go and use of its advanced featuresAbout This VideoDiscover a number of techniques and approaches to develop modern back-end applicationsPut to use the best practices to combine the techniques for sophisticated parallel toolsThis video is based on Go version 1.6 and aboveIn DetailGo (a.k.a. Golang) is a statically-typed programming language first developed at Google. It is derived from C with additional features such as garbage collection, type safety, dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types, and a large standard library. This video takes off where basic tutorials on the language leave off. You can immediately put into practice some of the more advanced concepts and libraries offered by the language while avoiding some of the common mistakes for new Go developers. The video explores applications that interact with users, such as websites, command-line tools, or via the file system. It demonstrates how to handle advanced topics such as parallelism, distributed systems, and performance tuning. Lastly, it finishes with reactive and serverless programming in Go. Show and hide more
