It's wonderful Course to get started with Golang. Assignments and Quiz are extremely helpful to practice and enhance the knowledge. I strongly recommend to enrol this course.

Not a bad course, not a course for beginners in programming, so the basics are skipped, and more is told about the features of Go. Although, in my opinion, some points could have been shortened.
