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.

Great intro. If you already know the basics, you probably don't need this course though. Not much of a deep dive, more of a "skim the surface" type course. Week 4 on IO was the most beneficial for me.
