Course Overview
This course provides a step-by-step introduction to the Go programming language. Starting with the basics of syntax and structure you'll learn about variables data types operators control flow functions and data structures like arrays slices and maps. The course progresses to more advanced topics such as pointers methods interfaces and concurrency with goroutines and channels. Each lesson includes hands-on tasks and quizzes to reinforce your understanding. The course culminates in a practical project where you'll build a simple task manager application applying the concepts you've learned throughout the course.
