Question 1

Is this Go course suitable for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but we assume you're already familiar with programming basics like variables, conditionals, and functions. You don't need any prior Go experience.

Question 2

Are Go and Golang the same programming language?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The language's official name is Go. Developers often call it Golang because its original website was golang.org and the longer name is easier to search for.

Question 3

What will I build skills in during this Go course?

Accepted Answer

You'll practice writing idiomatic Go with structs, interfaces, explicit error handling, slices, maps, pointers, packages, goroutines, channels, mutexes, and generics.

Question 4

Can I sign up and try Boot.dev for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! It's free to create an account and start learning. You'll get all the immersive and interactive features for free for a few chapters. After that, if you still haven't paid for a membership, you'll be in read-only (content only) mode.

Question 5

Hasn't AI made learning to code obsolete?

Accepted Answer

We use AI more than most tech companies - not just to build Boots and the Training Grounds, but also to assist us in our coding work... and we're still hiring developers! The demand for technical talent hasn't gone away. Companies need developers that are AI savvy and can modernize their codebases. The way developers work is changing rapidly, but the demand for developers who can build great software remains high. We teach software development skills for the modern AI assisted world, and also have some AI specific courses like how to build your own Agent.

Question 6

How long will it take to learn enough to be hired?

Accepted Answer

It's completely up to you. The time it will take you to be "job ready" will depend on how much you already know, how often you study, and how long you study for. That said, the backend career path takes many people about 12 months.

Question 7

Should I include Boot.dev projects in my resume and portfolio?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If you built it, use it. You'll build several personal projects while completing our curriculum, and our final course about finding jobs will show you how to construct a job-ready portfolio.

Question 8

What is Boot.dev? A bootcamp? An online school?

Accepted Answer

We're not a $10,000 bootcamp. We're not a $50,000 university degree. We are a self-paced, gamified online learning platform for learning back-end web development and computer science. You can learn with us for the price of a gym membership.

Question 9

What makes Boot.dev different?

Accepted Answer

We focus on teaching backend-development and data-related skills, which is somewhat of a rarity in online learning. We're also focused on solving what we believe is the hardest problem with online learning: boredom. If you prefer coding rather than watching, and your struggle with online learning is staying motivated and engaged, we think you'll like learning with us.

The best course I've had for learning a language. Everything taught is useful, and practical. Resources are given for the nuances, and details you should learn on your own. I love this!

I did come to boot.dev with the intent to learn Go, but having done so, I'm glad to have at least a rough understanding of another language.

This was a fantastic course! I feel super ready to write Go and complete more projects and feel I have a good hold on the language to continue my Go endeavors

Perfect little introduction into Go. It made me like it a lot, the small things like its brackets, the error being just values, and the power of compiler!

good

its good but a bit fast. info after info.

This is a great introduction to Go for new Go programmers and a nice refresher for those who have worked with Go in the past but aren't using it regularly.

this course was great to be honest cause i didn't learn only but start a new language which i had never learnt. now i am master in that language, i have explored various features of go compared to other programming languages they don't even name those features like mutuxs, locks ...etc

knew nothing about Go before this course, now I know even less :D but it's a good course anyways

Mediocrity doesn't cut it anymore

The only way to become a great developer is to write a lot of code
