Go learning resources [closed]

Question

I am looking for resources to begin with the go language.

I know go is a very new language but don't you know tutorials, documentation or books to learn it?

What was your way to start learning and using the language?

Answer 1

If you have some programming experience already the Go Tour is really great. You can't ask for a much better way to get introduced. It's fun and you'll learn a lot in a hurry.

After going through that (and playing a bit with some toy programs as I went along) I read the Effective Go page and just started hacking away on the program I wanted make (I was porting an existing program I knew well to Go, so I was just learning Go not my problem domain at the same time).

The package documentation is really good, too. Don't forget that you can click on function names to get to the Go code that implements that function. Reading working code is a great way to learn and get ideas.

As I was getting started I also sometimes read a chapter or two from Miek Giebens Learning Go book. It's available for free in PDF and the book layout is nice, don't get scared off by the black and green website. :-)

I've heard good things about "An Introduction to Programming in Go" (also available for free).
