Any paid/free courses for Go that REALLY helped you?

When I started learning Golang not long ago, I had the same idea in mind: finding a course that covers everything in one place. Honestly, you’ll never find a course in any subject that covers every single detail. This is a phase, and my suggestion would be to learn the basics from any YouTube channel and start solving problems using Go—at least one problem a day. This way, you’ll learn what is needed to solve the problem, giving you more opportunities to explore Golang. With this practical learning approach, you won’t have to remember things that you might forget later. Just start! You will figure it out! Answer from Business_Message_293 on reddit.com

r/golang on Reddit: Any paid/free courses for Go that REALLY helped you?

July 17, 2024 -

Are there any paid/free courses for #golang that REALLY helped you? Please suggest.

I enjoy the official https://go.dev/tour/ and https://gobyexample.com/, but I find them very basic. I want to understand the internals and what goes on under the hood with goroutines, channels, etc. There are great articles online, but I find looking for resources time-consuming and would prefer to have everything curated in one place. MOST IMPORTNATLY, courses also help me maintain a schedule, and I could just hit play and be assured that I'm not wasting time 'looking for better resources.'

There are some obvious choices like Anthony GG's courses, but I didn't find his YouTube videos engaging enough.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

The best Golang course?

Not a course but I started with the book let’s go by Alex Edwards and it walks you through setting up a pastebin type web app. I got about halfway through in 3-4 days and felt I had learned enough but I’d say it’s definitely worth a look at least even tho it’s not an api. The same author has let’s go further which does walk you through creating an API I believe but I haven’t personally read it so cannot vouch for effectiveness. More on reddit.com

Go course

This playlist is by far the best go, or really any programing language course I have ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDQAZEJK8lI&list=PLoILbKo9rG3skRCj37Kn5Zj803hhiuRK6 And the guy goes above and beyond to explain some core concepts about programming and computing in general. If you are after the core concepts, this is it. I have watched some other tutorials, payed for some courses on Udemy too. Nothings beats this playlist. More on reddit.com
