Go
The Complete Developer's Guide (Golang)

First, congratulations on branching out. Moving toward being a polyglot developer has many advantages.

For the complete beginner, I've found Go: The Complete Developer's Guide on Udemy to be quite informative. It presents most of the pragmatic ideas you'll need to get up and running. I feel Stephen Grider does a pretty good job of anticipating "but what about x ?!" and then addressing it. (Udemy regularly has sales.)

I really like this one by Stephen Grinder, which got recommended to me by several colleagues. Very clear explanation and great build-up in skill level.

I love Go, as it's becoming the default language for all things cloud or web services.

Grider's Go course is a fantastic overview.

Not a book, but I have been working my way through the below Udemy course and I have been pretty satisfied with it.

I mostly work with Javascript and Python, I just picked up go this weekend and https://www.udemy.com/course/go-the-complete-developers-guide/ was really helpful in getting up to speed with the language.

Highly recommend https://www.udemy.com/course/go-the-complete-developers-guide/ if you're just starting out with Go

I just made this transition about 6 months ago after being a .NET dev for fourteenish years. I found the following really helpful to get the basics down.

• For the Love of Go: https://bitfieldconsulting.com/books/love
• Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/go-the-complete-developers-guide/

After, those two courses, I would suggest finding a project on GitHub and dig into the source. Get it compiling, understand how builds and test work. Testing has a different vibe in Go. I would also suggest to embrace some of the simplicity and be aware if you are approaching the problem like you would with C# or another OO language.

Go has about a third of they keywords compared to C#. It's simple and the way the community solves problems are interesting. I like that the focus is on the data structure, that it has a functional touch, and, will design patterns are used, aren't heavily the focus.

Also, embrace gofmt and goimports. Use golangci-lint or staticcheck which will help a lot with learning the idioms of the language.

It will take some time to get comfortable and if you have and specifics, please reach out.

Sure. If you're just getting started in Go, this class by Stephen Grider is a bestseller, is taught completely in VS Code, and he covers VS Code installation and plugins. https://www.udemy.com/course/go-the-complete-developers-guide/

This YouTube video from freeCodeCamp also uses VS Code, along with the Go playground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS4e4q9oBaU

Believe me, you're in good company with VS Code. It's probably the most widely used IDE for Go, and many many other languages.
