Course Description

The standard library in Go is extensive and covers a wide range of functionalities, including network programming, encryption, file I/O, and web development. Go also has a thriving ecosystem of third-party libraries and frameworks that further enhance its capabilities for building various types of applications. 

With 45+ hours of hands-on learning, this course will focus on exploring and mastering the key components of Go's standard library, from networking and file handling to concurrency and testing, enabling you to write robust, production-ready code with minimal dependencies.

What’s Included:

• 45+ Hours of Coaching: Choose from one-on-one or small group sessions for personalized instruction on Go’s standard library.
• In-Depth Conceptual Lessons: Learn about the core packages, their functions, and how to effectively use them for a variety of programming tasks.
• Hands-On Exercises: Practice coding challenges and examples to reinforce your understanding and develop practical skills with Go’s standard library.
• Real-World Examples: Apply Go’s standard library in solving real-world problems like building web servers, handling JSON, and interacting with databases.
• Exam-Oriented Tips and Strategies: Get insights on best practices and performance optimizations within Go, making you exam- and production-ready.
• Mock Projects: Build small projects and applications using Go's standard libraries, simulating real-life development environments.
• Access to Study Materials, Worksheets, and Practice Questions: Exclusive resources for continued learning and practice.

What You’ll Learn:

• Core Go Standard Library Packages: Dive deep into critical Go packages such as net/http, os, time, encoding/json, sync, and database/sql.
• Networking and Web Development: Master building robust web servers and clients using net/http, tcp, and websocket packages, plus handling secure connections with tls and crypto.
• File and Data I/O: Learn file handling and directory manipulation through the os and io packages, and manipulate data streams with tools like bufio and ioutil.
• Concurrency and Goroutines: Understand how to manage multiple tasks simultaneously with goroutines, channels, and the sync package to write efficient concurrent programs.
• Error Handling and Logging: Master error handling with Go’s errors and log packages, ensuring your programs are robust and easy to debug.
• Working with JSON and XML: Handle serialization and deserialization of JSON and XML data using encoding/json and encoding/xml for seamless data exchange.
• Database Interaction: Interface with relational databases through Go’s database/sql package, and perform CRUD operations.
• Testing and Benchmarking: Learn how to write unit tests using the testing package, perform performance benchmarking, and optimize your Go code.
• Security and Cryptography: Use Go's crypto package to handle encryption, hashing, and secure communications in your applications.
• Error Handling and Debugging: Learn Go's idiomatic approach to error handling, creating custom error types, and implementing robust logging for debugging.

Ideal For:

• Go Developers who want to deepen their understanding of the Go standard library.
• Students and professionals preparing for Go-based projects, internships, or job interviews.
• Programmers looking to maximize efficiency by utilizing Go’s powerful built-in tools without relying on third-party libraries.
• Anyone looking to build production-ready software in Go using the language’s built-in, high-performance libraries.
