Go Further

That brings us to the end of this e-book. I hope you found the information herein valuable, but more than anything else, I hope that I’ve given you a real appetite to learn more about Go.

The best way to learn Go is to practice it. Think of some small applications you can build and then build them. Use the documentation to find out about packages you think might help you, then dig into them and discover how they really work.

Above all, if you only think you understand something you’ve written in Go, then you probably don’t. Every time you write something, ask yourself if you could explain how it works in simple terms to someone else. Better still, grab the nearest person and do just that. Go, like any other language, rewards the inquisitive.

I found Dave Cheney’s blog was really useful when I was first starting out with Go. Dave is a programmer and author from Sydney, Australia, and has been a Go contributor since 2011 and a maintainer since 2012. His blog is a great source of news, tips, and tutorials, and his “Resources for New Go Programmers” post was a great help to me.

I wish you well in all your Go programming endeavors. Feel free to connect with me at [email protected] if there’s anything I can do to help you.
