I’ve created a roadmap on my weblog to study Golang for rookies. What do you consider this and is there something you’re feeling that’s missed or one thing which isn’t required.

Freecodecamp has a roadmap which are divided into “backend” and “fronted” and so on. One roadmap that matches all appears to be exhausting to create and perceive IMHO.
Yeah, agree with @Sibert, everybody has its personal manner of studying and a one-size-fits-all strategy is probably going inconceivable. I feel the map is mostly OK, however I personally didn’t actually comply with it even as soon as I discovered it, and I consider it made some decisions I personally wouldn’t make. For instance:
- I discover it questionable to see such little commonplace library packages not talked about, similar to testify, log, sync (for some purpose it simply has mutex), replicate, flag, or a extremely necessary and highly effective one, internet/http. Like, why would you study the archived package deal Gorilla, however not go over internet/http? The usual libraries is without doubt one of the strongest options of Go IMO, and I feel understanding them is a good talent for any Go developer
- I’d positively not place testing so down the record, it’s very easy to get began writing unit exams
- This map has a very good quantity of widespread exterior libraries; as an extension I’d’ve most likely additionally included viper for configuration.
Simply a few of my ideas. This map did encourage me to look into some exterior packages I didn’t learn about but although, similar to those for actual time communication.
I’ve seen this “roadmap” earlier than on developer-roadmap on GitHub, which incorporates a number of of those “roadmaps” (besides that they’re interactive there). Although, as I stated, I by no means actually adopted it – personally to any newbie I’d suggest “a tour of Go” and all tutorials from Golang Cafe’s youtube channel. As soon as you understand the fundamentals, Nic Jackson has a nice tutorial which additionally covers microservices, however within the first movies he goes over the basics. I’m subscribed to Mario Carrion and Golang Dojo for normal Go content material, and when you’re comfy I’d positively suggest to begin moving into the language specification, documentation and articles from the official Go weblog.
Studying Go could be a rewarding expertise, and there are a number of approaches you’ll be able to take to grow to be proficient within the language. Here’s a roadmap to get began with studying Go::
Study the fundamentals
Apply writing code
Discover Go package deal and libraries
Study greatest apply
Construct bigger initiatives
Your roadmap appears like nice start line for rookies and by frequently increasing and updating it you’ll be able to present a worthwhile useful resource for these excited about studying golang.
