This post intends to be an introduction to the Go programming language, also known as Golang.
Disclaimer
I’m not an expert in Go. In fact, I’ve started learning about Go very recently. Therefore, take everything in this post with a pinch of salt.
Then… why am I writing a post about Go? It’s simple: I want to use this post as a tool to reinforce my learning process. I believe that working on a blog post and publishing it will force me to get every detail straight. Moreover, I’ll be crafting the guide that I would have liked to have found in the first place (and, therefore, it is likely that it will become the guide that you were looking for as well). This also means that this post will probably be evolving as I learn new aspects of Go.
Keep in mind, though, that despite of the fact that I’ll be working on every detail of the post, I may make mistakes. I encourage you to indicate in the comments section any errors that you may find, and I’ll gladly correct them.
If this disclaimer has let you down and you are not interested in reading this post anymore, here are some fantastic resources to get started with Go:
- A Tour of Go: Go’s official learning tour
- Golang learn: a list of community-driven learning resources
- FreeCodeCamp’s YT tutorial: a fantastic video of freeCodeCamp (6+ hours, no ads)
If you, however, decide to stay and keep reading… welcome!
