Golang Programming (Golang程式設計)

1. Time: Monday 14:10-17:00
2. Classroom: TC-301
3. Objective: Go, also known as Golang, is the concise and efficient programming language designed by Google for creating high-performance, cross-platform applications. Go combines strong static types with simple syntax and a comprehensive standard library to increase programmer productivity, while still supporting features such as concurrent/parallel programming. This course explains how to get the most from Golang, starting from the basics and building up to the most advanced and sophisticated features. You will learn how Golang builds on a simple and consistent type system to create a comprehensive and productive development experience that produces fast and robust applications that run across platforms.
