John, the video I want from you is sharing your secrets on how you keep so much energy to be so active. Seriously bro, I wish I'd be so active as you

Gophercises is a true hidden gem. Everyone who does them, please spread the word. The author deserves so much support. It’s explained so well you don’t have to lift your eyes off your editor.

Believe it or not John, this was actually useful for me in a real problem. I has training for a certain certification that has a very expensive simulation training, but there are plently of sample questions in online resources. Using this Go code I created an exam simulator, capable of tracking my correct answers and implementing a timer.

Only recently in the past 6 months started to get into cyber security coming from software engineering (primarily in go), so it’s great to see the two worlds meet and see Go start to get the recognition it deserves. Great video

Should note that using ReadAll is a no no if you were to read in a large file. Use Read and iterate through the file line by line to avoid memory leakage.

Hey John, I found this super helpful. It's so easy to skip past these kinds of exercises because of how simple in theory they are VS the value they produce. Having someone quickly run over it in 30 minutes and explain a lot of basic concepts has been really useful.
Thanks!

I been doing stuff in Golang for a year or so...I started before the pandemic. Had plenty of time to really use it during the pandemic. I love it. I used to do Gophercises and still get emails from the guy once in awhile. He doesn't annoy you like some sites do. I may get back into it again. Fun to do the Codewars challenges with Golang also.

Love this video! I've been wanting to learn Golang and this was a great glimpse into the verbiage and structure of the language.

Keep up the great content!

It's called dereferencing the pointer! I"m watching the video because my work is going from c++ to go for certain projects.

[mytechnotalent]

Nice job John! We use Golang at work and we really love it. Thanks job on the Quiz Game as well cheers!

Slight nitpick: When you read the question and answer, you are assuming that the csv has those columns. There's nothing in your code that assures that the array `value` actually has >= 2 elements. I'm not familiar with GO, but at best you can expect a crash if an invalid file is provided. Just thought I'd mention it since you're error-checking everywhere else (I don't think scanln's error is going to do much).

Maybe a result of me just using higher level languages (C#, Java, Python) but this is sort of beautiful in a new way I can't pinpoint. its like C++ had a baby with Python

[discordwala]

That's amazing! Thanks John sir, please continue golang series! 😊

[maxfrischdev]

Thanks for the walkthrough video, John! GO deserves more Love! 😊🤘🏻😎

[reinier]

Are you planning to do a series of videos for go? I like this one, Thanks.

[OligoST]

Who knows where the world would be if companies valued trainability over tangible experience. Maybe we would have more experienced professionals

[Mr.WhiteBeard]

Any idea how to mirroring site using go?

[justchecking]

I have bookmarks and watch later videos that I couldn't catch up because of my work and eventually I have burnout. I couldn't adapt work and grow process. How can you do this? I think that issue is what most people have these days

[choleralul]

sound like your were clipping a bit John!
