Go Programming Resources

Some online resources that I found and are particularly useful in my journey re-learning Go programming since the mid of last year (2019), after the last time I touched Go programming in 2015.

There are many good Go programming courses and books. But over the years, my go-to have been “Learn Go with TDD” course and Effective Go book.

Courses#

• Learn Go with test-driven development by Chris James.
  • The methodology clicked well with me.
• Ultimate Go study guide, with heavily documented code and programs analysis, all in 1 place by Hoanh An.
  • Good notes and code comments by the author who has completed Ultimate Go training by Ardan Labs.
• Go by Example by Mark McGranaghan.
  • Crash course for the busy people.
  • A hands-on introduction to Go using annotated example programs.

Best Practices#

• “Effective Go” by the Go Authors.
• Practical Go: Real world advice for writing maintainable Go programs by Dave Cheney.
• Standard Go Project Layout. It covers:
  • Go code style guidelines and recommendations.
  • Naming and organizing packages as well as other code structure recommendations.

I hope you find this useful as well. It goes without saying. YMMV.
