What you'll learn in this Go course
A REPL, or Read-Eval-Print Loop, is a simple interactive programming environment that takes user input, evaluates it, and returns the result to the user. In this guided project, you'll build a Pokedex-like REPL in Go that uses the PokeAPI to fetch data about Pokemon. It's a great way to put your Go knowledge to the test and learn valuable skills like HTTP networking and data serialization.

Tough in the beginning but great combination of all the go lessons before. Enjoyed it overall.

I think it balances hand holding and letting you figure it out on your own nicely.

I can't wait to actually share a program I wrote with my friends and them actually use it!

If you aren't comfortable with Go yet, you're gonna learn one way or another.

The pokedex project is quite fun and allows you to explore implementation of code without step-by-step instructions.

Caching part made me sweat. Big difference in learning Go concepts, networking versus applying them all at once in a project. But this is where real learning happens so glad I finished it.
