Go Language (Golang)
Stand out in backend development by learning Go. This course covers core language features and teaches you how to build fast, reliable servers that power modern cloud-based applications.
Go (Golang) Courses
Go has become a popular choice for cloud-native and distributed systems development, valued for its simplicity, concurrency model, and performance in high-throughput services. Udacity's Go courses teach practical Golang skills from foundational programming concepts through real-world application development. You'll learn Go fundamentals, implement authorization systems, and apply Go to SQL and relational data modeling for web applications. These courses build the proficiency needed for backend services, APIs, command-line tools, and the cloud infrastructure software that increasingly runs on the language (much of the open-source DevOps tooling is written in Go).

Authorization with Go
The Authorization with Go course offers a comprehensive exploration of authorization principles and their implementation in Go applications. It begins with the fundamentals of authentication, laying the groundwork for access control. Participants will learn about Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) to manage user permissions effectively. The course also covers best practices for securing APIs, ensuring robust protection against unauthorized access. Finally, practical skills are honed through a hands-on project, where learners will create a Task Management API, applying the concepts learned throughout the course to build a secure and efficient application.
SQL and Data Modeling for the Web with Go
This course is focused on backend web development with a strong emphasis on database interactions using Go and Postgres. Students will start by learning Postgres fundamentals, including setup, SQL queries, and Go integration using the pgx library. The course then introduces GORM, a powerful ORM for Go, to simplify database operations and model management. Key concepts like database migrations for schema evolution and version control are also covered. Ultimately, students will apply these skills by building a complete CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) web application, solidifying their understanding of backend development with Go and Postgres.
