This track provides you with essential knowledge about the Go language.

The Go for Beginners track is perfect for those who want to test the waters before jumping into the world of programming or who want to learn a different programming language. The designers of Go wanted developers to have a programming language that made creating applications quick and easy, and as far as we can tell, they succeeded! Go is now used on servers, in web development, and even on command line interfaces.

According to the results of our State of Developer Ecosystem 2021 survey, it is in the top 5 languages developers were learning in 2021, as well as in the top 5 fastest growing languages, so it’s definitely not going anywhere soon. Go is becoming more popular each year, both as a primary and secondary language. We would appreciate any feedback you have to share – it would help us improve the track and publicly release it sooner. Note that this track is still in the early stages of testing. If you are looking to gain new skills in 2022, like learning a new programming language, we want to help! We’ve decided to provide the Go for Beginners track free of charge until the end of January 2022! The new year is quickly approaching, and you may want to get started on your resolutions early. So great news, everyone – Go for Beginners is now available on JetBrains Academy! Inspired by Renee French’s design Wait! Come back! We just mean that this year we’ve received a large number of requests to create a track that teaches Go or Golang, an open source programming language developed at Google. If you ask our team “What has been the most frequently requested track on JetBrains Academy in 2021?”, we’ll say “Go!”.
