Fast, simple, and efficient programming language
Go (Golang) is a modern programming language developed by Google, designed for simplicity, efficiency, and excellent concurrency support. This roadmap covers Go fundamentals, goroutines and channels for concurrent programming, building web services, working with databases, and creating microservices. Go's fast compilation, built-in concurrency primitives, and strong standard library make it ideal for cloud-native applications, microservices, DevOps tools, and high-performance backends. It's used by companies like Google, Uber, Docker, and Kubernetes. Go developers are in high demand for building scalable, performant systems.
