Syllabus

• An Introduction of Go - why Go is worth learning.

  • What is Go? Go, or Golang, is a programming language developed at Google. It has received a lot of acclaim from developers for its speed and straightforward syntax.
    • An open-source programming language supported by Google
    • Easy to learn and great for teams
    • Built-in concurrency and a robust standard library
    • Large ecosystem of partners, communities, and tools
  • Why Go is worth Learning GoLang is a compiled multi-threaded programming language based on open source C and developed internally at Google. It is a single language that allows different processes to run simultaneously, which means simultaneous programming. Extremely fast, easy to maintain, and efficient, GoLang has all the advantages needed for distributed systems because it can handle multiple parts of the blockchain concurrently. The language was developed for high-performance programs running on modern distributed systems and multicore processors. Market participants perceived the launch of GoLang as an attempt to create a replacement for C/C ++. Today, the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain platform uses this programming language. It is often used in NFT marketplace development. Examples of blockchain projects that use GoLang: GoChain, Dero, Loom Network, Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric. .

• The Go Toolchain - how to compile and run Go programs.

  • Setting Up Go Locally Installing Go and Running Go Programs Developing Go locally on your own environment is a big step towards creating your very own Go projects and exercising your imagination! This guide will assume some knowledge of the command line and use of a code editor (we recommend VSCode), so brush up if you need too! First, downland Go to your computer by going to Golang’s download page and select your operating system under the Featured downloads section.
