Live virtual classes

Every evening at 9–11 PM (PKT), plus weekend deep-dives

No prerecorded lectures. Every session is live with a mentor — you ask questions, write code on the call, and get feedback in real time. Weekend sessions are extended deep-dives where you build the week's project end-to-end with the cohort.

Weeknight classes

Monday to Friday · 9–11 PM PKT. Concepts, walkthroughs, mentor Q&A. After your day job or classes.

Weekend deep-dives

Saturday & Sunday · extended hands-on sessions. Ship a working project every weekend with the cohort.

🎥 100% live · Zoom & Google Meet 📼 Recordings if you miss 💬 24h mentor reply on chat

About this program

Go runs the modern internet — Docker, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, Uber's dispatch, Stripe's payments infrastructure. In 10 weeks you become someone who can build backend services that handle real load without anxiety. Live 9–11 PM PKT every weeknight. Weekend deep-dives are where you build the week's service end-to-end — REST, then gRPC, then full observability. We focus on the parts that make senior Go engineers expensive: concurrency that actually works, context propagation, idiomatic error handling, and the difference between code that runs and code that survives production.

What you'll build

Real projects · not toy exercises

🛠

CLI Tool with Tests

A `cobra`-based CLI with unit + integration tests, packaged for `go install`.

🕷

Concurrent Web Scraper

Goroutine + channel scraper with rate-limiting and graceful shutdown.

🚀

Production REST Service

A REST API with auth, validation, structured logging, and metrics.

🗄

API with Postgres + Redis

Persistence, caching, migrations, and proper connection pooling.

⚡

gRPC Service Pair

Two services talking via Protobuf with deadlines and tracing.

📈

Observability Dashboard

Live dashboard with logs, metrics, and distributed traces.

Who this program is for

If any of these sound like you, you're in the right place 👋

✓ You've shipped backend code in another language and want to add Go to your CV.

✓ You enjoy reading the standard library and want a language with a small surface area.

✓ You want to work on infrastructure, devops tooling, or high-throughput backends.

✓ You like writing tests and care about production reliability.

What changes after

By the last week, you can…

🎯

Write idiomatic Go a senior engineer wouldn't rewrite in code review.

🎯

Design and ship REST + gRPC services with observability baked in.

🎯

Reason about goroutines, channels, contexts, and cancellation without bugs.

🎯

Containerise, deploy, and operate Go services in production.

🎯

Pass interviews at Go-heavy companies (infra, devops, fintech).
