Introduction to Go Programming for beginners

In today's episode we take a look at the basics of the Go programming language. How to install it, and how to structure code.
We cover all the basics of writing our first module, package and go files.
The fundamentals are important so learning about functions, types, control flows, structs, arrays, slices and loops are critical building blocks for writing code.

If you can't code and have no real experience as a developer you are not a DevOps but just a sysadmin. The most important point in DevOps is to treat the entire software development lifecycle as s single process and to understand deeply and be involved in every step of it - only this way you will be able to make it efficient and good.

You are the best sir. Just waiting for more and more learning from you

[SV-tccu]

Excellent content as always. Great way of explaining, keep it going !

[atanudebnath]

Thanks Marcel for a very good introduction of Go, will be waiting for more new videos of Go

[stefanschmidbauer]

Great video, thank you. 
After watching all of your videos I got hungry for some dev one.

[yasirm]

Great content. I would suggest to increase font size of code - that will help keep whole picture in view(instead of selective zooming)

[ariand.sialajulio]

Thank you for the lesson, I learnt too much about go basics.

[RaviSingh-ixnr]

Hi, Can you please make a small video about your VSCode setup with Git.

[joshkornblum]

Newbie here. What is the benefit of copying files over to the docker container and compiling within the container? Why not just copy over the compiled executable to the container and then run it?

[TheArpitkoberoi]

Great video
Since you're venturing into development side as well, Later in the series, could you dive deep into structuring a REST API project with microservices pattern?

Could have a few sections where you contrast it with django, spring boot etc.

Could also be started as a "flask equivalent for python developers" that becomes a go project management guide towards the end?

22:02 that else is redundant, i know you already know that, just for information

[Gandolfof]

Amazing as always. I learned a lot from this channel!

What software do you use for creating these videos?

[DziuCasTV]

So funny to watch your videos, thanks !

[ComputerScienceSimplified]

Awesome video, keep up the amazing work :)

[ElCucuy]

Thank you from Ukraine. Please continue on go maybe later video on k8s operator creation just simple use cases.

[EightSixx]

Sending build context to Docker daemon 1.536kB
Error response from daemon: the Dockerfile (dockerfile) cannot be empty

any help?

[ybonda]

I didn't understand one thing:
You ran go inside the container, but how did you edited your 'go' files in VSCode while they were located inside the container?

[KK-ever]

Wow. I can't imagine how I created my first go based product without going through all these basics. I think now need to do some reverse learning and optimize these code following your series of go videos. Thanks~

[jameeappiskey]

what is better for DevOps, go or python?
