LEARNING GO
It’s My Learning Adventure
Intro
First of all I don’t have any experience in programming language called GO . I just notice it this month when I went to search for jobs online. There are a lot of company needed the experienced GO coder.
So this will be my own way learning GO. It’s not a tutorial but my own experience in learning a new things and hopefully this writing will be useful somewhere in the future.
Anyway I have experienced NodeJS and Pyhton so I don’t think this will be that hard.
Learning Plan
The learning method that I will use is...wait is there is any learning method ?. Anyway I just write what I usually do. So these are the plan on mastering GO.
1. Finding Resources
2. Setting up Environment
3. Start Coding
4. Find Web Framework in GO. Because that’s what I found in search for jobs
4.1 CRUD creation
4.2 Authorization and Authentication
4.3 User Management
5. Try to Host the web app. It’s free on IBM cloud https://cloud.ibm.com/
6. ….. I don’t know any. Maybe I post later.
1. Finding Resources
1. https://golang.org/ absolutely the basic. Read the Doc
2. Going search keyword : go web framework best. It seems there are a lot of them.
3. Going Github : https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go. There are a lot of them going open source.
I add later if I found one
2. Setting Up Environment locally
To start every coding journey always go for the original document. let’s visit https://golang.org/doc/ and start reading and reviewing.
2.1 Installing Go
There no difficult process in here. Just download and install. There is a link if you want to install different version https://golang.org/doc/manage-install.html. Its nice to have option, I’m using windows btw.
2.2 Review for Tutorial: Get started with Go
After coding a bit in Visual Studio Code, The IDE starting to install few tools to add. But found error. It didn’t found asm. The problem occurred when the IDE try to instal tools but got rejected by my Antivirus. So I have to exclude the Go Installation directory from my Antivirus.
that was a good thing we found an error, so lucky me.
Following the Hello World.
Hello.go file work just fine.
Review for Call code in an external package
This one also work fine, and the description for installing other modules is quite interesting.
2.3 Review for Tutorial: Create a Go module
2.3.1 Creating Module that other can use
Creating Module works fine
2.3.2 Call Module
After executing go build found some error
I didn’t know everyone having the same problem.
But luckily someone already have the answer
so you should put hello directory outside greeting directory so its at the same level. Thank you good sir.
I found out that I miss these part I guess. When I look again in tutorial, it really says go up from greetings directory
after this the other tutorial works fine.
2.3.3 Review for Compile and install the application
This part is very interesting for me, so I can install the application as part of OS. And yeah I just noticed this now.
2.4 Basic Tutorial Done
With this I officially can use Go, and also enter the basic zone as Go Programmer. Next I will try the web framework. Since there are a lot of framework. I will start with something popular. Thank you if you are reading this. I think it will not add to your knowledge if you already have a Go Project on your hands but thanks anyway.
