Ardan Labs: Ultimate Go

I worked for 3 years as a Go developer before doing this course and I still learned so much from it. Thank you Bill Kennedy, you're a wonderful instructor!

None. I think that online tech courses are outdated quickly so I prefer to learn by coding every day

https://www.oreilly.com/ learning seems to be good and diverse, although the price are a bit steep where I'm from currency conversion-wise.

I've never done a bad Coursera one. Probably luck but still. Currently working through Colorado Boulders' FPGA for Embedded Systems course. I'd also recommend anything by Harvard/MIT on edX. The MIT Advanced Manufacturing micromasters, as well as the finance one, were fantastic.

Why did you learn so diverse knowledge?

I learn loads of stuff just for fun. Its super interesting to learn detailed specifics of topics, especially knowing you're never going to be tested on it.

You should learn when not to code.

At this point I am basically an unpaid shill for this company but:

Udacity

While courses from Coursera and EdX are also excellent, Udacity consistently makes me work hard and actually expend the energy to understand non-trivial tech.

Is this the same ultimate go course that is offered on O'Reilly?

https://learning.oreilly.com/videos/ultimate-go-programming/...

Hard to tell. I pay for O'Reilly for myself since it covers a lot of my needs (nearly all tech books across publishers, conferences, and courses/videos across some publishers (manning, packt, wiley)).

$700 is a steep price to pay for a single go course.
