The Go for Cloud and Networks course is a specialized training program designed to teach developers how to leverage the Go programming language for building applications and services specifically tailored for cloud computing environments and networked systems. This course provides participants with a deep understanding of Go's capabilities and how to effectively utilize them in cloud and networking contexts.
The prerequisites for Go for Cloud and Networks include: - Computer Science Fundamentals: Familiarity with fundamental concepts such as data structures (arrays, slices, maps) and algorithms can assist in applying these concepts in Go for Cloud and Networks. - Text Editor or Integrated Development Environment (IDE): Familiarity with using a text editor (e.g., VSCode, Sublime Text) or an IDE (e.g., GoLand, VS Code with Go extension) for writing and managing code. - Command-Line Interface (CLI) Familiarity: Basic knowledge of using the command line interface for compiling, running, and managing files can be beneficial for working with Go tools. While these are helpful prerequisites, it's worth noting that Go for Cloud and Networks is designed to be user-friendly and accessible to many users. Beginners can start with basic tasks and gradually build their skills as they gain more experience with the tool.
Operating System Compatibility: Golang is compatible with the following Windows operating systems:
Windows 11 (64-bit)
Windows 10 (64-bit)
Processor: A 64-bit processor with at least 1.4 GHz speed or higher is recommended.
Memory (RAM): A minimum of 8 GB RAM is required for better performance.
Hard Drive Space: You need at least 2 GB of free hard drive space for the installation.
The course materials can be accessed as one progresses from 1 lesson to another by completing the due assignments and graded assignments.
Yes, a course completion certificate is allocated upon completing all graded assignments and quizzes present in the Go for Cloud and Networks course.
This course is designed for freshers who are novices in programming and web development aiming for the role of a Web Developer, Data Scientist, System Programmer, etc. The main aim is to explore apps like cloud, server side applications, DevOps, and command line tools.
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
