Introduction

Go is a great language for CS majors. This page presents some university courses that use Go. For a list of free and commercial Go training classes, see the Learn wiki.

Language

• University of Helsinki, Department of Computer Science used to have a course named Introduction to Go, taught by K. Bäckman: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/courses/582336 in Spring 2010.
• University of Sofia “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics has elective course named “Programming with Go”, taught by K. Vladimiroff: http://fmi.golang.bg (bulgarian) and their [public lectures] - (also in bulgarian)
• Free University of Berlin (Germany) had a course Introduction to Go Programming in Spring 2013.
• J.W. Goethe University (Frankfurt/Main, Germany) had a course Introduction to Go Programming in Spring 2015 (in german)

Web
