Programming with Go Modules

Course details

While modules are crucial to how Go programs are built, it’s difficult to find a comprehensive overview that gives the subject its proper due. In this course, designed uniquely for intermediate programmers looking to further their understanding of the Go module system, instructor Vladimir Vivien shows you the fundamental skills and technical know-how required to start developing and publishing Go modules on your own. Along the way, learn how to reuse module packages, publish modules, release versioned modules, and more. By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to take your Go skills to the next level and boost your programming career.
