Learn GO Fast: Full Tutorial

[@kanipolecam9539]

I love that its not for complete beginners, but more of a switch for language, like a cheat sheet that is clear if you have been coding in some other language

[@whereisyourhijab]

fr man

[@crackhead3511]

not many unexperienced programmers are switching to go, its more of a "i need c but in the 21st century"

[@andreyd2535]

Great, encompassing tutorial! I received a lot of "aha" moments from it, which is rare these days in a YT video.

[@mr_mux408]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a bunch for the support! I def tried to explain the "why" a lot so people could get to those "aha" moments :)

[@ryanlog]

@@mr_mux408 add Rust in 1 hour & Zig in 1 hour & Gleam in 1 hour tooooooo

[@AmanpreetSingh]

aha moment for me was how the built-in len function works

[@kotzblitz7716]

No music, no clutter, not too easy and also not for seniors who learn machine code for fun. It’s just perfect, thanks.

[@nyashachiroro2531]

It's crazy that this is enought Go knowledge to actually start building stuff right away. The simplicity 🙌

[@mr_mux408]

Yup, not bad

[@sandeshgowdru8869]

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 !!!

[@FreestyleRez]

This is exactly my sentiment. Clear, plenty of examples but not wasting any time. Loved it

[@mich_thedev]

Exactly. I am also an intermediate dev that wants to learn a new programming language. I wonder if there are any Go devs that have Go as their first language

[@xiaozhenlin7970]

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 these❤

[@andreipavel1537]

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.

[@omarjab]

exactly

[@mikestarr8034]

The single best "learn a programming language" video i've ever seen, incredible format!

[@shawgichan]

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 KZbin ✨✨ 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.👍👍

[@marwanfikrat7716]

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!

[@adityajhunjhunwala2471]

This is the best tutorial for someone who already knows c or c++ or any other language, crisp, to the point.

[@usamairfan9573]

To the point, no clutter and fast. Just the stuff I needed. Thanks

I am really impressed from your work mate. No fluff, great value. Such a breath of fresh air. You've got the like and subscribe.

[@mrgalaxy396]

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.

[@oussaber]

the fact that you managed to cover all of these concepts in 1 hour is impressive, i learned a lot. One other thing i noticed is that the resolution can be better, the font looks a bit blurry. Also one of the best explanations of go concurrency I've seen. Great job

[@mr_mux408]

Glad it was helpful for you!

[@maxfrischdev]

A perfect example of "sandwiching" 🤣 compliment - critique - compliment 👍

[@vaisakhkm783]

only generics and channels parts were blurry...

[@always-ask-why]

This tutorial is perfect! More depth than many 10 hour courses. Just the right speed and just the right depth. Thank you for creating his tutorial!

[@李伟鸣]

Hi Alex, this is one of the best GO tutorials I've seen. The GO API chapter is comprehensive! Keep it up

[@sandysandor6052]

Really nice tutorial! I like that it contains a lot of stuff and not only datatypes, functions etc basics, but comprehensible enough for someone with some programming experience to understand what is happening and how to write code. Learned something new in the first minute, although I've already learned the basics earlier.

[@darkkuja22]

Commenting so that this keeps getting recommended and you continue to do videos. This is great stuff! To the point and very useful.

[@KwakuEshun]

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.

[@Akash-oo5bx]

ngl the best tutorial on Go, considering the knowledge delivered to time ratio, this is pure gem. expecting some tutorials of cool go projects out of it ;p ❤

[@jordanray1537]

My guy you are seriously underrated. Surprised to only see 7k subscribers. Love the no bullshit, quickfire explanations that still encompass all the details needed. Subbed!

[@Yassinomari75]

bro is giving exactly what you need no extra useless info , thank you

[@fakedevdutt]

You just gave us enough knowledge about go to get started and rest we will figure out in our way of building things which is just RIGHT!! A perf tutorial is what I will call this. Thanks a lot man!

[@risingmojofilter]

Phenomenal tutorial! Best coding tutorial I've seen, even. Well done! Thank you for explaining exactly what the compiler was doing under the hood. Would love to see more, perhaps on the Go modules for file I/O, command options/flags, making http requests, calling shell scripts, ways to unit test and benchmark, and anything else cool or useful.

[@ChristopherA20N]

I just recently heard of GO when I got into Neovim. Since then, I've heard statements like " GO is a modern version of C" which I now get. Thanks for the great tutorial! You explained everything very understandably and I can't wait to use this language in future projects! Like others already said, it's really nice to have a tutorial catered at developers who already understand coding and want to learn a new language. Please keep making videos like this!

[@adityamore1356]

I truly appreciate the considerable time and effort invested in creating tutorials of this caliber. Could we possibly have more engaging Golang videos featuring projects? Your work is truly exceptional, and I want to express my sincere gratitude! Thank you so much!

[@wahidislamlinad]

this is by far the best go tutorial I've ever seen on youtube. explanations with reasoning and examples really helped me alot. please make more videos like this❤

Very underrated tutorial on KZbin. Loaded value, packaged in a crisp format!

[@mr_mux408]

Dude for someone coming from another server side language (in my case C#), this is a godsend video. You saved me 15hrs of Udemy. holy sh!t Thanks man!

[@hasneetsingh]

The level of simplicity of this tutorial is absolutely on point. Thank you so much for this 🙌

[@jlee-mp4]

I wish every single tutorial was like this. coding, machine learning, everything.

[@NoOne-ev3jn]

I already like the quality of the video, I have no intention to learn Go in the near future but because of this video I would really reconsider that. Keep it up my friend

[@jameszaman3326]

This tutorial is SUPER cool. Really good for people that already knows programming and just wants to know the basics to get started with another language.

[@iWontFakeIt]

the most straightforward go tut! exceptional man!

[@collink7145]

Thank you so much for this. I'm interviewing seriously for the first time in about 3 years, and there's a LOT more Go adoption than before. I'm doing a full-stack coding challenge with a company that uses it for the back-end and this has been really helpful!

[@Olixis]

please, continue with the series, i'd buy any course with this didactics. Perfect for mid level devs and people with ADHD, straight to the point. great job!

[@Little-bird-told-me]

Amazing professionally done video. It's a shame this channel has only 1.47k subs. A travesty for such *golden* content

[@Growlizing]

I work in Go every day and this is a pretty good starter. Great job man

[@Timov]

I have done GO some time now and was searching good tutorial / introduction to spread the word. This vid was best so far & I am looking forward your future postings about GO.

[@lagcisco]

you knocked it out of the park man, this video has good pacing, exactly what I needed

[@deveshmeena2573]

Thank you so much! I can't believe this is available for free. If you ever make a full fledged course I'd love to take it. Your way of teaching is amazing!

[@JustinBishop]

I am a 2nd year IT - Programming student and found this tutorial super helpful. I dont need a 5 hour tutorial. I just need the jist overview and I'll take it from there. Thanks for the great software content!

[@jub0bs]

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.

[@brentmarquez9057]

Thank you for the notes @jub0bs - I'm trying to get a better understanding of pointers and when to use them (I understand the basic idea to save memory). For example, at 1:07:06 on line 26, the DatabaseInterface is declared as a pointer with *tools.DatabaseInterface. Why are we using a pointer here and not just tools.DatabaseInterface for saying the variable is just of that type? My understanding is that we use the pointer when passing into a function so we don't make a copy, so I'm seeing other places with the * syntax and not quite understanding when I should use pointers outside of that scenario.

[@AliRaza-oc7cg]

This is actually the best Golang tutorial on internet. better than the paid ones.

Where are you from? Which school teaches Go? I have seen most schools only teach C/C++, Python, Java

[@AanPatel-z4u]

The slice pointer-related description at 39:00 is likely inaccurate. Slice data access and manipulation in Golang happens through an instance of what's called a "slice head". When you try to pass a slice variable to a function (not passing a pointer), it creates copy of the slice head and passes that in. Hence when the author prints &thing2, they see a different address. But this is the address of the slice head, which still points to the same underlying slice, and you should be able to manipulate the underlying slice just fine using the new head. However, passing pointers will still be more efficient since you don't need to copy the head.

[@NovaAquarius]

Excellent video. Exactly what is needed for programmers who are already familiar with some other programming languages. If you ever decide to learn Rust Language, please do consider making one such video - Rust in 1hour. There is no such content for Rust.
