Testimonials from
our students
I never realized that Go is so powerful! The course is perfectly structured: from the basics to complex topics in gRPC. Already after a month I made my first microservice at work. Now the team lead assigns me tasks that he used to give to seniors.
Maxim, Backend Developer
I liked the course! I watched a lot of videos before, but only here everything 'clicked'. Plus real cases with Kubernetes - you can see that the author speaks from combat experience.
Anna, DevOps beginner
Buffers and gRPC protocols are explained as if a Google-engineer was lecturing me personally. At the interview at Tinkoff I was the only one who answered all the questions on these topics. I received an offer 2 weeks after the course.
Denis, Fintech (ex-Java developer)
I bought the course for the whole team. Now our API is 40% faster and new employees are joining 2x faster - thanks to clear examples from the course. Best $500 we've invested in development.
Olga, Team Lead in a SaaS startup
I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it without experience, but the lessons are brilliantly organized: each topic is immediately practiced. In 3 months he made his diploma project - an asynchronous parser of cryptocurrency exchanges, and he was taken to a real startup!
Artyom, Student (first language - Go)
I was looking for a course where they teach not just syntax, but architectural solutions. Here is a rare balance: theory from MIT textbooks + our 'rake' from production. Now I demand this course from all new Go-developers in the company.
Evgeny, CTO of a blockchain project
After the course I received 3 orders for Go-development at once. Clients in Upwork appreciate that I use gRPC - it immediately raises my rating. I paid off the training in the first month!
Victoria, Freelancer (remote work)
Frequently asked questions
What are the requirements to start training?
The course is designed for complete beginners - we start with the basics of syntax. A basic understanding of how to work with computers is enough.
How is the program structured?
The course is built on the principle of practice: you will learn Go through video lessons, real cases from projects, gradually moving from basic tasks like 'Hello World' to creating your own gRPC service, and after each module to consolidate knowledge through tests and mini-projects, which guarantees a deep understanding of the material and the formation of practical skills.
What is the class schedule?
Complete freedom: learn at your own pace. We recommend 4-6 hours per week for comfortable progress.
Suitable for experienced developers?
Yes! Sections on goroutine and memory optimization, designing high-load APIs, as well as profiling and benchmarking contain advanced techniques that will be valuable even for senior engineers.
Is there a refund guarantee?
Yes - if you realize in the first 5 days that the course is not for you, we will refund 100% of your payment without questions or delays.
Why is Go profitable in 2025?
Average salaries for Go developers are 30-50% higher than other backend specialists. After the course you will be able to apply for positions in fintech and blockchain startups, cloud services teams (Kubernetes, Docker), Highload projects (social networks, trading).
