This repository contains notes, exercises, and references for the GoExpert post-graduate program offered by Full Cycle. The goal is to consolidate the advanced Go (Golang) knowledge acquired throughout the course and keep a record of practical examples for study purposes.
GoExpert is an advanced postgraduate program focused on Go (Golang), emphasizing software architecture, high scalability, and distributed systems development. During the course, you will learn:
- Advanced Go Concepts: Goroutines, Channels, Context, concurrency, and more.
- Microservices Architecture: Building and communicating microservices with Go.
- DevOps & CI/CD: Continuous integration and delivery pipelines, automation, and reliability practices.
- Design Patterns & Best Practices: Software design patterns, clean code, and maintainability.
- Observability: Distributed logging, metrics, and tracing for production environments.
- Tools & Frameworks: Integration with popular Go libraries and frameworks.
Learn more about the program at Full Cycle.
Each module will be organized in its own folder, containing separate folders for lectures, which in turn have notes and exercises. An example structure could look like this:
.
├── module-01/
│ └── lectures/
│ ├── notes/
│ └── exercises/
├── module-02/
│ └── lectures/
│ ├── notes/
│ └── exercises/
├── module-03/
│ └── lectures/
│ ├── notes/
│ └── exercises/
├── docs/
│ └── references.md
└── README.md
- module-XX: Each folder represents a module from the GoExpert program.
- lectures: Contains all material presented in the module’s lectures.
- notes: Your class notes, summaries, or additional explanations.
- exercises: Hands-on exercises to practice what you’ve learned.
- docs: Additional documentation, reference materials, or helpful resources.
- Go (Golang): Primary programming language, focusing on concurrency and performance.
- Containers & Orchestration: Docker and Kubernetes for packaging and running applications.
- CI/CD Tools: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or other pipelines for continuous integration and deployment.
- Observability (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.): Monitoring services and gathering logs and metrics.
- Databases (SQL & NoSQL): Designing and querying relational and non-relational databases.
- Message Brokers: Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar tools for asynchronous communication.
Depending on the lecture or module, you may have different instructions to run your notes and exercises. Generally, for a simple Go file:
go run main.goTo run all tests within a specific folder or module:
go test ./...To build a binary:
go build -o my-binary .Check the respective notes or exercises folder for any specific instructions related to each lecture or module.
