About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

Test-driven development (TDD) is a software design technique based on tests that promotes an iterative way of writing software. This course will teach you to use TDD using Go—one of the most popular languages. In this course, you will first learn about the fundamentals of Go, including packages, standard library, and error handling. Then, you will go through a comprehensive guide on writing test cases using Go, including subtests, table-driven tests, skipping, benchmarking, fuzzing, dependency injection, and mocking in unit tests. Next, you will look at multiple TDD katas and learn about the best practices for making most of the TDD approach. Finally, you will build a TODO application by following the test-driven development approach. This application will be a REST API that exposes actions getting TODOs. After completing this course, you will have the skills needed to build reliable applications using the test-driven development approach.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
