Really good starting Go Course!

the latters parts, which are the most complex, are very hastily and poorly explained

While Go is simple, it'll be a smoother course when you have experience in other programming languages

Much better than any tutorial or book. Boot.Dev makes it easy to learn complex features of the Go language like channels and mutex.

Great Introduction to Go. Highly recommended

All the power and nuance (minus enums) of java without all the explicit declaration. Seriously though, it feels like a great back end language and I'm looking forward to getting dirty with it in the next course.

The Go course was a very enjoyable refresher of my Go knowledge. It is well done and broken into appropriately sized units.
