Great intro. If you already know the basics, you probably don't need this course though. Not much of a deep dive, more of a "skim the surface" type course. Week 4 on IO was the most beneficial for me.

Very detailed, nice introduction to golang's basic concepts. Might need to google to find better ways to handle some requirements of the assignments, but overall a cool programming language to learn.

Good explanations. Must know other modern languages. Assignments makes you search for more details in order to achieve it which is a very good thing

It's targeted toward intermediate but I found it a little more "beginner". Lecturer is great and the assignments are fun though
