This module introduces fundamental data concepts in Go, including how variables reference memory and how Go manages memory through pointers and garbage collection. You will explore basic data types such as integers, floating-point numbers, and strings, and learn how Go represents text using UTF-8 encoding. The module also covers constants, commonly used string-related packages, and techniques for printing output and reading user input. Finally, you will examine control flow constructs that allow Go programs to make decisions and repeat actions. By the end of this module, you will be able to work with Go’s core data types and use control flow structures to build simple programs.

In this module, you will explore composite data types in Go, which allow programmers to group and organize multiple values together. You will learn how arrays store fixed-length collections of elements and how slices provide a flexible, dynamic way to work with sequences of data. The module also introduces hash tables and maps for storing key-value pairs and explains how structs can be used to organize related data into meaningful objects. By the end of the module, you will understand how these data structures help manage complex data and write more efficient Go programs.

This final module introduces how Go programs interact with external systems and data formats. You will learn about Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and how they are used to exchange structured data between programs. The module also covers how to access and process structured data stored in files. By the end of the module, you will write Go programs that use RPCs, work with JSON data, and read structured text data from files for further processing.
