Resources to learn Go (andygrunwald.com)

+1 for gobyexample that is my favorite resource, especially once you have broken ground, and are somewhere in-between having all the basics of the syntax mostly mastered, but some of the tidbits of the standard library not yet mastered.

Thank you. This sort of thing (coming from a PHP/Python) background is what I am looking for.

Would love to see one day examples of doing something in PHP/Python and then how to do it in Golang.

Ultimately, I see myself dropping PHP in favour of Golang for my front-end stuff and continuing with HHVM/PHP for my backend development.

My daemons on servers are currently running in Python and do see them ported over to Golang in the future.

So +1 from me.

Nice summary.

Contributing to existing project is one more way to learn Golang. Perfect if you have some exotic needs which are not covered in existing golang libraries.

I want to throw the little go book into the ring as another great resource:

http://openmymind.net/The-Little-Go-Book/

Short and also freely available.

I learned from John Graham-Cumming's O'Reilly video series. When I reviewed some of the Go books, I was frustrated by code samples with so many "we'll get to this later" parts. John's videos had a good pace, thoroughly explained concepts, and prepared me to write real code. The only downside was that they were expensive - if you are able to expense them, I highly recommend the videos.

I've been reading this e-book: https://www.golang-book.com/books/intro

Really enjoying it thus far!

Also, slightly off-topic, but is there anything like Go by Example for something like C or C++?

I'll give a +1 to Go in Action (Manning)[1]; the MEAP has improved quite a bit over the last couple of months, particularly with the rewrite of the chapter about types.

Since my free/open source ebook didn't make the cut, please excuse the self promotion: http://www.golangbootcamp.com/

I hope it will help some of you :)

Waiting for this Kernighan piece: http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-Addison-Wesley-Pr...

Maybe I missed it but I didn't see this mentioned: http://gobyexample.com

This site helped me tremendously. I still reference it all the time when I'm uncertain about something.

My recommendation would be not to learn go.

One can also peruse the Camlistore source code at http://camlistore.org. It was a project started by Brad Fitzpatrick, the guy famous for owning Nest Protect smoke alarms. ;)

This is another good resource
