I was always insanely interested in Go. Ever since I first saw it in the C-drama "Hikaru No Go". It is such an interesting game.

I tried to get into it multiple times, I know the bare basics. But there are really no courses or quality tutorials on YouTube that I've found. There are only scattered individual videos. Which didn't help me much.

So what's the best way to learn without paying like $90 for a course or something? Is it possible to learn/get good for free, online?

It's been a couple of months that I started to learn Go. I'm basically binge watching any tutorial I can find on youtube. And I gotta say that I completed a bunch. Today I want to share 2 channels with you that I think are great compared to others:

• The first one is going through almost all of the concepts in go in an elaborate way. The tutor is very clear. Videos are a little bit long compared to other tutorials but I believe it worths your time. Because in every video he manages to squeeze in some things that I haven't came across before. It's definitely beginner friendly and it will get you up to speed with a great knowledge base. Generally, I watch tutorials at 1.5x-2x speed, but that was one of the few tutorials that I watched at 1x speed, because it's packed with a lot of knowledge and insight.

• The second channel is a little bit more advanced in terms of the topics it covers. The tutor I think is an ex-Google and current Apple engineer. He basically picks a concept/mini project/ idea for each video and tries to implement it as if it's a production environment. I gotta say I learned a lot from that channel as well

just for func

So, that's it. That's all my hours spent watching tutorials to find out the best ones. Take it as my payback to the community. I hope it will be helpful for newcomers.

Feel free to add tutorials below that you can vouch for and think they worth the while.

Edit after 6 months:

There is one more channel that I found worth mentioning and it is:

• Go Class by Matt KØDVB

It's almost like the first source above but gives a more academic vibes. The part I liked about it is that after introducing topics it goes ahead and gives small coding sessions. Those sessions themself actually teach a lot about the logic and conventions of Go programming. So highly recommend that one as well.
