An immersive, introductory course to backend software engineering using go.
Before you start this course, make sure you've followed all of the instructions in the prep section.
Remember: you can always Google or ask for help if you get stuck.
This course is structured into self-contained projects that you can work through at your own pace.
Each project has its own directory with a README.md file that has instructions. If you want to take a look at one way of completing an exercise, there's some code waiting on a branch prefixed impl/ (for "implementation") and an associated Pull Request for you to look at. Try not to copy!
