Introduction to Golang - Online Workshop

Take a deep dive into the Go Programming language. Why was Go created, and by who? How has it become such a popular choice in DevOps and Backend development?

After exploring the theory of Go, you get hands-on creating two projects. A command line tool to fetch data from a remote API and a JSON web service. Both with a fun twist.

For this hands-on workshop, we are excited to welcome Sam Hennessy, Go Technical Lead at abbeal.
