Go leverages some of the best features from other languages focusing on a simple, concise program structure and syntax. Go's relatively short learning curve means developers can start developing right away. In this course, you'll explore Go program structure and syntax and the various data types supported by Go. Next, you'll examine various approaches utilized in Go for developing program logic. You'll learn how to declare and initialize variables and constants and explore the specific operators used with different data types. You'll move on to learn how to work with complex data types and how to write code to control the flow of programs by leveraging looping and branching. Lastly, you'll learn how to manipulate and manage strings with various string functions available in Go.
