Go (Golang) Backend Course

Learn Go from the fundamentals, then build REST APIs, GraphQL services, gRPC microservices, concurrent systems, and production-ready backends.

Go course curriculum

Learn Go by building backend systems

This project-based Golang course moves from the language basics to the tools used in modern backend development.

Go fundamentals

Types, functions, structs, interfaces, generics, modules, error handling, and the standard library.

Concurrency and testing

Goroutines, channels, mutexes, patterns, unit tests, integration tests, and mocking.

REST API development

HTTP handlers, routing, middleware, validation, authentication, and clean API design in Go.

GraphQL and databases

GraphQL services, SQLite, PostgreSQL, raw SQL, GORM, and full-text search.

Networking and gRPC

TCP, UDP, data encoding, Protocol Buffers, RPC, gRPC services, and streaming.

Docker, AWS, and microservices

Docker Compose, S3, SQS, event-driven systems, deployment, and microservice architecture.

Go backend projects

Build more than small demos

Each major topic becomes working code that you can study, change, and reuse.

  1. E-commerce REST APIProducts, orders, authentication, middleware, PostgreSQL, and payments.
  2. GraphQL serviceQueries, mutations, resolvers, database integration, and tests.
  3. MCP server in GoImplement the Model Context Protocol and connect tools to AI applications.
  4. Network and gRPC servicesFraming, streaming, Protocol Buffers, service contracts, and microservices.
