Ask HN: How do you start learning Go?

3 points by jethrokuan 14y ago

Hi everyone, I come from a ruby background, and am recently getting a little tired of rails/sinatra being not as quick as I would like them to be. I'd like to start learning Go, but I'm not quite sure where to start. Are there any books or videos I could get my hands on to get me up to speed? Thanks!

I just finished tour.golang.org - I recommend it!

  I second that, it's definitely a great resource. Also, check out: 1. http://talks.golang.org/2012/concurrency.slide#1 http://talks.golang.org/2012/concurrency.slide#1 for concurrency ideas with Go 2. http://cplus.about.com/od/google-go/a/Learn-To-Program-Go-Tutorial-One.htm http://cplus.about.com/od/google-go/a/Learn-To-Program-Go-Tu...: A great intro

    Thanks everyone! I've tried doing it(amidst my school exams) but I think it doesn't quite drill into me best practices. I don't want to explore go and hack up something; I want to learn it once and learn it right. Any recommendation for this? (:
