Id say because the language spec isn’t super big most resources aren’t really as useful as just rewriting some services you already have in node or another language but in go. It’s hard to know what you don’t know until you run into it. And then some of the more advice driven stuff makes sense
Code and Learn channel is my favourite as I am learning about Go. His simple explanations and examples just make the learning experience so so much better. Even as a senior in other languages, he discards your experience and always starts from the most beginner level on any topic. I remember asking him to create a GO project structure video, and today he published what I assume will be a series of such videos. Check out Code and Learn please
A tour of Go has the dark mode button right at the top, visible to all viewers of this video, yet you blast this full brightness right at us. Shame on you.
Basically, I'm starting with the book Lets Go by Alex Edwards and Web Development With Go by Jon Calhoun. Both are great books that implement projects and complement each other.
@@aman_s_96I'm learning a lot from Jon's codes. He is an experienced programmer, and always tries to show the most effective way to build the application. I think Jon's book and course, together with Alex Edwards' Lets Go and Lets Go Further complement each other. For me, as I'm studying both at the same time, it's working better than if I were limiting myself to just one of the two.
@@MelkeyDev Just because you're here in this thread, sharing on Let's go: I did finish the Let's Go - it was amazing, a bit too Frontend heavy for me. Still, got to learn all the go fundamentals. For core backend, same author has "Let's go further" - I have just started, but just from the chapters index, it looks freaking amazing.
Yep, I think his name is Alex Edwards? Let's Go is an awesome book for beginners coming into Go but have done web development in other language. Going through it at the moment. The way he communicates his point is very very nice and easy to digest. Have went into Let's Go Further haha
Go has been such a breath of fresh air from node and the whole js thing. I made pretty solid client sdks for our 3 main systems and have been moving all our services over to go the past year or so. Actually am finishing up the first from scratch go one this week. It’s really amazing not having to spend 4 hours looking up what your tsconfig is supposed to be and seeing if something has finally replaced express (it hasn’t). Gotta love monkey patching so you can use async await almost a decade later!
I have 2 dots. Dot-1 is me currently--an OK Python/C developer new to Go. Dot-2 is me in the future OK or better at creating and contributing to small/mid-size Go projects. While the resouces in this video will help, none will provide the roadmap to connecting the 2 dots.
Great recommendations! Especially the more advanced resources are not be skipped! I tried to skip them and now, every time I get hung up on something, I end up reading them. Do yourself the favor and learn with them, even though you're programming for years. They will help you a ton!
I just completed Go course by Maximilian and it's quite decent. Could be a great starting point. Took me like 5 days (I have previous experience of TS and university level C)
Right on time when I have to create a microservice at work and I decided to use it as an opportunity to learn GO well let's give it a go (Please don't bash me for the lame pun I swear I'm nice)
I've gone through 2 books ("Let's go" + "Writing an interpreter in go") and I'm like 70% done with "Let's go further"...I'm getting pretty familiar with the language. Now I just need to do something big and real with it, or I'll forever be a "Junior" dev.
This is the best playlist I've ever came across. It's from a staff engineer at NY Times if I'm not mistaken. ruclips.net/p/PLoILbKo9rG3skRCj37Kn5Zj803hhiuRK6&si=qDLKZfJbFXpnCwb7
I didn't like the The Tour of Go, it was very short, so I didn't learn much. Closures are explained well though. I did not do Effective Go. Alex Edward's books are the best backend books in existence imho.
I wanna become a software developer. ALready know the fundamentals. I am looking to try go as I see it is growing in demand. should I use all the resources given in that specific order?
hey i’m not sure if you address these in your video, but i’m a beginner in go and i have some questions!! what resources should i learn?? what’s the best course you can recommend? melkey, how did YOU learn golang?? thx in advance, shawty
If you want my personal route, if you can then look for my comment under this vid, i think my route helps with basics then slowly expands your Go knowledge especially if you prefer videos instead of reading docs
i remember you mentioning on stream about maybe not being a strictly Go related youtube channel, but I must say I wouldnt mind if you WERE strictly go. its great stuff and I learn a lot. but tbh either way I'm going to enjoy what you put out lol.
im learning Golang from Boot Dev, its amazing hands on gamifying learning backend dev. tons of on hand projects that you make in the course, a Pokedex a blog aggregator, im currently learning webservers in golang! its awesome!
I finished CS50 the other day and decided that I want to continue learning programming with Go instead of C or Python. I did the tour, followed it up with "Learn Go With Tests," and started a small side project. Boy, am I lost. Transitioning from a structured course to "real" programming is challenging. I really miss stuff like check50. Having to write my own tests, wrapping my head around aferofs because I need to test file system interactions without blowing up my system, the constant complaints from gopls, perfectly fine functions turning into a mess after a poor attempt at refactoring… But Go has been fun so far and fantastic for someone as inexperienced as I am. Thanks for the video, it couldn’t have dropped at a better time!
I hope you all enjoy the video!

Can definitely vouch for let's go and let's go further, hands down the best resources to learn Go in-depth
Yep!!
absolutely goated video
Basically, I'm starting with the book Lets Go by Alex Edwards and Web Development With Go by Jon Calhoun. Both are great books that implement projects and complement each other.
What if I have done both Lets go & Lets go further, do you think I need course by Jon Calhoun?

Its such a good book!
Thank you! I have been following you for 2-3 months. I like your content. Likewise, I have been looking to learn Go in 2024, one of my goals.
I am glad you have been here for the journey
2024 is for Go
Besides some TS and Rust I'm happy to write Go again as well. So, polyglot programming. 😉
php 4 life
aint no way lil pup

that's the path you could use if you start over, but what path did you actually take ?

Those books by Alex Edwards are a masterpiece. Even his blog is amazing.
Truly GOATED
Jon Calhoun has a great video course on web development with go
I need to check it out !
Should've made this vid back in 2023 when I first started go
its never to late for some Melkey go content

Yeah, he is a great teacher
course link_
Any framework available with batteries added? Like django In go? Wow new words, there must be something like DjanGo or ManGO 😂
hahah - not so much in Go
Wait, why are you not selling a course during this video? I'll leave because you are doing social media incorrectly (contains sarcasm)
my course is never free and always contains out-of-date material
Right on time when I have to create a microservice at work and I decided to use it as an opportunity to learn GO well let's give it a go (Please don't bash me for the lame pun I swear I'm nice)

Never go full JR mode
Oof. Go straight to CRUD projects, reference docs as you need to
please recommend me some best open source projects to learn in go
Can I learn backend development in golang, i completely fresher with c and c++, will i able to get job as fresher in Golang ??

How would you reccomend Adran lab go Developer Bootcamp by Bill Kenedy. The GOAT of Goalng
i havent done it - but maybe i should now!
Great video!
Thank you!
what's your linkedin profile?
Can I skip Effective Go and straight to the books?

Very easy - come to the good side brother

Thank you bro
I didn't like the The Tour of Go, it was very short, so I didn't learn much. Closures are explained well though.
I did not do Effective Go.
Alex Edward's books are the best backend books in existence imho.
Well i tried to add the links to the places Melkey mentioned in this video but our google/RUclips overlords wont allow it 😢

Would you recommend any tutorial for CLI in golang?
I have tons of videos
Here is one example:

thanks, it was the exact thing that I was looking for.
I subbed
books recommendations are epic

The best thing is to go on a tour of go and read effective go.
Yep yep yep

Can I skip all and just do go effective and let's Go
Lets GOOOOOOO
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (further)
I do this in my spare time at work. Very good
Thank you!
Did I miss the links to these? :P
RUclips sometimes does not allow links
How to learn Go? Just like any other programming language, learn the basics and just start to build things, either simple or big project
JUST.
BUILD.
THINGS
Effective go is great. It's dated in some regards which newcomers are turned off by for some reason... But the value of offers is still unmatched.
Yeah, the value is definitely unmatched
Or you go the hard way, you begin to build something until you’re stuck, you read the doc and go further 😅
Good advice though 😊
At the end of the day - youre right!
Very cool video I like it
I'm glad you like it
Best go resources!
Just what I needed, thank you baby

how to learn go as a programmer but what about how to learn go with no experience as a programmer ?
