GoLang tutorial for Beginners

NOTE: This tutorial is written for people who have less that one year programming experience or even no experience whatsoever.

A question I get commonly asked as as a speaker and mentor is, Are bootcamps worth it? Should I go to a bootcamp to start my career in tech? I have the hardest time answering that question. This truth is, all the material provided in software bootcamps is available online for free.

The reason behind this course is to provide that same free content, but for my favorite programming language Go

What is Go?

I believe the simplicity and cleanliness of the Go programming language makes it suitable as a language for first time programmers.

Go is a programming language was developed at google in 2009. It was written to help replace some of the heavy and complex c++ infrastructure. Since then it has grown to a powerful tool for all types of programming.

The Why of Go

Here is a great video by Carmen Andoh about Go and why to use it.

2.3 Install Go

curate a walk through for a person's first time installing Go. Use code examples and screen shots for clarity. Go through a variety of install options including binary, brew, apt, apk, from source, etc.

2.1 bash

Write the section about using bash commands in the terminal. Go through the outline in the markdown file. Add content for a variety of operating systems. Remember people using open source learning may not have access to purchase new development machines.

Intro to Windows Terminal

I do not program on a windows machine. I am very infamiliar syntax for windows based terminals and/or powershell. This tutorial needs content for windows based programers in the following sections:

Content should include an explanation of basic topics, videos or images of process, and/or additional resources for practice.
