Ultimate Debugging

Learn the latest tips, tricks, and best practices around debugging in Golang.

with Derek Parker

16 Hrs

Beginner - Intermediate

Purchase for $320

Course Introduction

This course is designed for developers who want to become proficient debugging Go software using the Delve debugger. Whether you’ve never used a debugger in your life or are a Delve expert, everybody will walk away with new information that can be used in their day to day development workflow.

The course will initially focus on Delve, which is the de facto Go debugger. We will start with the basics and move into more advanced use cases over the 5 days. On the last day of class, we will dig into new tools and cover profiling / perf tools, how to use them effectively, and how to interpret the data for root cause analysis.

At the end of the subscription period, your membership does not automatically renew.

Requirements:

A basic understanding of the Go programming language. Students do not have to be expert Go users, but they will get the most from the workshop if they have completed the majority of the [Go Tour] (https://tour.golang.org/).
