About course
More on Alem SchoolThe Golang Backend Developer course by Alem School is designed to train practice-oriented backend developers capable of building the server side of modern web applications using the Go programming language. The program lasts 26 weeks and includes 650 academic hours, and is built not around traditional lectures, but through project-based learning, a peer-to-peer format, independent work, code review, and mentor support. During the course, students gradually master Go, REST API, HTTP, JSON, SQL/PostgreSQL, Redis, logging, testing, authentication, architectural approaches, concurrency, parallelism, and real-time data processing. The course content includes practical projects such as CLI tools, HTTP servers, order management services, an in-memory key-value store, distributed asynchronous systems, rating backend services, and an application for processing trading data. The key advantage of the course is that students do not simply study technologies — they continuously apply them to real tasks, building a portfolio and developing skills that are in demand by employers. The practical value of the program lies in preparing graduates for independent and team-based development of backend services, working with databases, APIs, application architecture, and high-load systems. Upon completion of the course, students receive the qualification of Junior Golang Developer and are ready to start a career in backend development.
