Learn Go with Tests (quii.gitbook.io)

I think 'Learn <Programing language> with tests' is good way for someone programing language newer to start.

As someone who has just started learning Go I'll definitely take this on. Kudos for writing a book, definitely something to be proud of!

Great resource!

I agree TDD is a good way to learn a new language.

One of my favorite books Exercises for Programmers (https://www.programmingbooks.dev/extra/#exercises-for-progra...) promotes this approach as well.

Thanks for the resource. I have been using Go By Example[1] to learn and your gitbook is a great complement to that.

Read and typed along with an early edition of this a few years back and it has continued to be one of my favorite technical tutorials of all time, far surpassing lots of other golang material that I've paid money for.

Brilliant resource. I learned a lot from real practical examples (compared to the bluebook "The Go programming language"). And I started writing tests religiously after reading it.

Thanks for the resource! I'm having a lot of fun exploring your notebook. I'm not entirely sure why I decided Go would be the net programming language I learnt, but I'm glad I did that!

This is my favorite learning resource for Golang. Thanks for writing it!

Great resource, I am working my way through it as we speak.

I am just using this in the last few days to learn go to change stack, really the best form of tutorial I ever used in my whole cs life.

This is one of the best resources for starting with Go! It’s very practical and teaches a lot of important concepts in an easy to understand way. Cannot recommend this enough! If you read the book and learned something new consider sponsoring the author as a ‘thank you’!

After doing the go tour, this was my learning resource that solidified all the concepts for me. Learning how to test and make tests easy in Go was so beneficial. Most resources only teach the language constructs with maybe a brief mention of testing package

I like a lot the mocking chapter. Very well done.

If you like this you will like the concept of learning with koans or katas. The "rustlings" intro to rust is in such format. Most use test runners but you usually edit the code not the test.

I went straight to the code about concurrency[1] and I really liked it, I learned so much just by reading a couple of lines of code and tests.

This looks like a good structured way to learn Go. Is there a way to turn the lights off on these GitBooks?

I decided to learn and use Go for my recent job hunt, and this site was just the best. I used the structure of the code in the "build an application" section in every take home coding challenge I wrote.

nice site! Kudos to the developer!

Is there something like this for C/C++?

Go is among the lowest barrier-to-entry programming languages but most entry-level tutorials don't even get into testing, So a test focused entry-level Go tutorial is indeed a fresh take and an useful one.

Congratulations to the author & contributors.
