How To Learn GO (Golang) | 5 Resources For Any Skill Level

Learn Golang in 2022!

In this video, I'll share my top 5 resources for learning Golang. Whether you are new and looking for a basic Golang tutorial, or advanced looking to go deeper, you're sure to find a solid resource here.

I can’t quite convey how excited I am to use Golang this year. I’ve sought to squeeze it in any chance I get.

I see it as Python but strongly typed and much faster. This is because it’s not only a fairly easy syntax to pick up but it was intended to be a simple language without all the unnecessary fluff.

With its swiss army knife standard library and its fast concurrency, it’s a language that can be used confidently on many types of projects from automation scripting, web applications, systems programming, CLI apps, and more.

Is Golang worth learning?

Absolutely!

I'll go against the grain... learn Go first. Screw the popular language! Once you learn Go... you can learn all the C-like Language really easy.✨👍

If you’re a beginner to coding try doing Angela Yu 100 days of python. Then take one of these beginner courses and rebuild all the python projects in golang.

Thanks for the video! I have nearly finished the Udemy course you first recommended. I would recommend any computer science practitioners wishing to learn Go to take that course. The instructor did not waste any time explaining basic programming concepts but directly dived into Go-unique syntax and features.

My main purpose for learning go is to rewrite my flask server to cut down on hosting costs/faster speed. More than half way through Stephens udemy course and ill probably learn a web framework while reading the go programming language book at the same time just to stay on track. Thanks for the video!

Hi, I really like Go very much. I'm new to it, but ever since I first discovered the features of the Go programming language, I fell in love with it. I have been waiting for 32 years to start programming. I used to be afraid of it, but now I can imagine myself becoming a Go programmer, and I believe it could be my profession for the rest of my life.Thanks for the video. Cheers! bye!

Thks. Go-by-Example is a really, really good learning and reference resource for EVERY gopher. Gophercises is also a good option to improve your go skills.

Learning Go as my first programming language. Using Head First Go book + Goland and loving it 🙂

[wahebbenzaid]

I'm mainly a C# developer, 'm planning to start learning GO this week and maybe it will be my main programming language who know ? thank you for this great video and useful resources!

[just_morby]

Excellent collection of resources. I just learned the basics. I had some ideas on where to go next, but this video gave me a roadmap. Thank you very much!

I’m a 57 YOM reaching the end of my C suite journey. Planning the next phase of my life, I have an interest in cyber security and AI (I know very different paths) can you recommend learning paths for each and within cyber security can you recommend a speciality that is solid for the future.

Great video! That Go book is 8 years old. Still worth it?

[devennandapurkar]

hey travis... i want to choose a framework for working with Go, a backend framework. Pls suggest one.

[urdarkside]

Hey Travis, Please kindly recommend some resources for computer networking for beginners going through the AWS path.

[abdirahmann]

hey travis, i hope you are doing well. about prometheus, what do you think of prometheus? i find that it REALLY lacks good documentation and its hard to implement solutions with prometheus but i love the product, it would be great if you did video on how you overcome this challenge since you are a devops engineer also what do you traefik, which reverse proxy do you like to implement in prod.

I was thinking about what language to learn first. I was thinking of learning C, then learning Go, or learning some HTML and CSS and maybe Javascript then learning C, Go and so on. What's recommended?
