Master Backend Development with Go

Course Overview

This comprehensive bootcamp equips you with job-ready skills to build robust backend applications using Go. You’ll go beyond syntax to master scalable system design, testing, database integration, microservices, gRPC, security, and performance optimization. Whether you’re transitioning into backend engineering or upskilling as a developer, this program prepares you to contribute immediately in high-demand Go roles.

Course Modules

Module 1: Go Basics & Development Setup

• Build your foundation—Go environment, modules, pointers, and basic CLI apps.

Module 2: Data Structures, Generics & Algorithms

• Master core data structures, apply generics, and write algorithmically sound code.

Module 3: Building RESTful APIs + Context Handling

• Design performant REST APIs, handle request cancellations, and implement middleware.

Module 4: Advanced Error Handling & Logging

• Learn Go’s idiomatic error management and implement structured logging for observability.

Module 5: Testing & Quality Assurance

• Build robust, test-driven applications with unit, integration, and benchmark testing.

Module 6: Database Integration & Transactions

• Work with PostgreSQL, Redis, transactions, and caching using GORM and raw SQL.

Module 7: Microservices & Protocol Buffers

• Architect microservices with gRPC and Protobuf for high-throughput communication.

Module 8: Authentication & Security

• Implement JWT, OAuth2, secure password hashing, and common security best practices.
