Unfortunately, the state of the Go client libraries for Kafka at the time of this writing was not ideal. sarama, which is by far the most popular but is quite difficult to work with. It is poorly documented, the API exposes low level concepts of the Kafka protocol, and it doesn't support recent Go features like contexts. It also passes all values as pointers which causes large numbers of dynamic memory allocations, more frequent garbage collections, and higher memory usage. confluent-kafka-go is a cgo based wrapper around librdkafka, which means it introduces a dependency to a C library on all Go code that uses the package. ...

...The course is delivered as a series of lectures, and each lecture has a dedicated lectureX.md file that serves as classroom notes, listing the knowledge points covered and the timestamp at which each segment starts. This structure allows students to quickly jump to specific topics in the video without scrubbing blindly through the timeline. The syllabus goes from environment setup and basic syntax to types and variables, constants and operators, control statements, arrays, slices, maps, functions, structs, methods, interfaces, reflection, and concurrency, before finishing with a “projects and pitfalls” session.
