It's crazy that this is enought Go knowledge to actually start building stuff right away. The simplicity π
No music, no clutter, not too easy and also not for seniors who learn machine code for fun. Itβs just perfect, thanks.
All in all, this is a good introduction to Go. Some notes for future viewers, though: 12:05 Short-variable declaration (using :=) are encouraged/idiomatic whenever possible or when the variable must be initialised explicitly (i.e. when the type's zero value won't do). 33:05 "Structs also have a concept of methods [...]" Methods are not specific to struct types, though; they can be attached to other types. 47:40 "This channel can only hold a single int value". That's incorrect. A channel resulting from make(chan int) cannot "hold" even one int value. Perhaps Alex meant make(chan int, 1) instead. 58:15 Minimalism is an important part of the culture. In particular, unlike other ecosystems, the use of a Web framework (like Chi, Gin, etc.) isn't necessary, especially given the new routing functionalities that the net/http package brings in Go 1.22.
You are great man you understood the need of all those intermediate level programmers who have fundamentals in coding and wish to experiment with new languages but want to learn fast.... great job man you have covered every aspect in one hour without wasting a single minute... Awesome !!!
This tutorial was exactly what I was looking for. I was so tired of tutorials explaining me how to print to the console for the first 2 hours. Covered exactly what I wanted to hear about a programming language, enough to make me decide if I want to learn it.
This is the best tutorial for someone who already knows c or c++ or any other language, crisp, to the point.
I searched far and wide to quickly learn all the fundamentals of go as an experienced developer. I didn't want to sit a 20 hour course, I just wanted a quick skim of all the fundamental features of the language and it's syntax. This video is it.. Thanks mate!
Absolutely best tutorial I've ever seen. Explaining syntax and concepts, instead of spending tens of minutes going over the basics of the basics like printing. I spent around 4 hours watching this 1hr video, just rewatching some parts and coding myself around Alex's code. Once again - best thing I've ever watched on any coding related subject. Thank you!
I am a Google swe and need to learn Go for my current work. I can't thank you enough for such a high quality tutorial. pls keep making more videos like theseβ€
Alternate title: "Edging with Go for 1 hour". Jokes aside your teaching style is superb, no BS, no going in loops, straight to the point, and fun! Subscriber++
I've been writing code for 30 years, this is exactly the type of video I hope to find when picking up something new. I really appreciate the pace and the editing, great job and thanks!
Oh god, no bs, no water, the guy is just throwing THE INFO right in our faces. Thank you! <3
This is by far the best crash course I've seen for a comp scie student!
This is insane, with just 1hr of video I feel like I truly learned. Congrats man, this video is gold!
The single best "learn a programming language" video i've ever seen, incredible format!
π If you like the video, consider buying me a coffee with a super thanks! Thanks for watching!
Never worked in Go or seen much of Go code. After this video now I get why they call Go "nicer C". Thanks for the concise overview of the language.
This is officially my favorite format for consuming tutorials as someone who is already in the field and looking to pick Go up. Great work, Alex.
Coming from a background in C++, Java, and Python, I found this to be one of the best Go language tutorials I've seen on YouTube β¨β¨ There was clearly a lot of effort made into making this Tutorial. After watching this hour long video, I feel much more prepared to start building projects in Go and have gained valuable knowledge that will help me land a Go developer role. This is an excellent resource for anyone looking to learn Go from the ground up, even if they are new to programming.ππ
