What will you learn?
A REPL, or Read-Eval-Print Loop, is a simple interactive programming environment that takes user input, evaluates it, and returns the result to the user. In this guided project, you'll build a Pokedex-like REPL in Go that uses the PokeAPI to fetch data about Pokemon. It's a great way to put your Go knowledge to the test and learn valuable skills like HTTP networking and data serialization.

Really fun project and I learned a lot about how to use apis and build a basic cli tool!

I love how this course doesn't bother to hold your hand and simply tasks you and asks you to rely on what you've learned and look at documentation to pull the pieces together to be successful.

Great course, amazing felt like a true wizard, also got help on dealing with a code base with multiple files, i used to struggle with that and this course helped me get better at it.

good guided project. Be aware that the individual steps take a bit longer than a classical lesson.
