Go For Engineering Teams

Course Description

The Ultimate Go: Language Guide has been designed over the past 8 years and goes beyond just being a Go language class. There will be very little time spent on specific Go syntax. Our time will be spent learning how to read and comprehend Go code with a big focus on “if performance matters” then these things matter.

• Streaming responses for large dynamic data
• Securing your server
• Utilizing workspaces to developing two dependant modules (such as application & logging library)
• Using build tags for platform dependent code
• Task automation with “go generate”, code that writes code
• Avoiding mocks by spinning services

Course Description:

This workshop is for Go developers who need to improve writing services and learn industry best practices. During this workshop we’ll develop a web service and implement the topics we discuss.

Course Outline

• Writing a Web Service
• Storage & Health
• Testing & Performance
• Securing Your Application

Course Description

From the beginning of the course, you will pair-program with your instructor Bill Kennedy as he walks you through the design philosophies, architectural decisions, and best practices as they apply to engineering a production-ready Go service.

With each new feature that is added to the service, you will learn how to deploy and manage the Kubernetes environment used to run the service. Throughout the class, the code being worked on is pushed to a repository for personal access and review.

Course Outline

• Introduction
• Deploy First Mentality
• Kubernetes
• Kubernetes Quotas
• Finish Initial Service Startup/Shutdown
• Web Framework
• Middleware
• JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
• Key Store
• Authentication / Authorization
• Domain Driven, Data-Oriented Architecture
• Database Support
• Database Migrations and Seeding
• API, App, Business, and Storage Implementation
• Testing
• Delegate and Transactions
• Observability
• Review Service Project

Course Description

The Ultimate Go Advanced Engineering class has been designed over the past year and will teach advanced Go concepts by building a reference implementation of a blockchain in Go! The goal of this class is to share how to code complex engineering tasks required to build a blockchain technology.

From the beginning, you will pair-program with the instructor, walking through the design philosophies and guidelines used to engineer the code. Throughout the class, you will learn more about Go and the advanced engineering features of the language.

Course Outline

• Introduction
• Blockchain Fundamentals
• Genesis
• Digital Signatures
• Database
• Cryptographic Audit Trails
• Memory Pools
• Accepting Signed Transactions
• Mining
• Storage
• Peer to Peer Networking
• Wallets

Course Description:

Our custom hands-on Go training contains several modules that you can choose from to create a syllabus tailored to your needs. Feel free to reach out if you have a need that is not converted by the following topics - we have a lot of experience with Go and development at large.

These classes are led by Miki Tebeka. Miki has more than 25 years of experience developing software for clients, with 11 of those years writing code in Go. Miki is the author of several books, a LinkedIn Learning author and a very busy teacher. Miki teaching style is “hands on” - you’re going to write a lot of coding during these sessions.
