Go proves to be one of the most promising languages with successful future prospects despite being the youngest in the 'developer community' Learning a new programming language isn't a run in the park, especially if you're an aspiring (self-taught) developer.
It's my second week of learning this new language, and I can attest that I'm intrigued and impressed so far.
It has intrusive capabilities and features compared to other languages that I have encountered in the past. Getting started with Golang as a self-taught wasn't easy at the start until I resorted to the right resources, which eventually enabled me to comprehend the new language.
Besides, the fact that I had knowledge of programming (before I took my Computer Science degree course) worked to my advantage since I could easily wrap my head around its concepts;
Fast forward: my 2-week stay in Golang has proved worthwhile since I have become so confident in my grasp of coding (at a basic level though) using the simplest and fastest language in the 21st century.
And here is everything I've covered so far:
- Background history of Golang development a. when it was developed; b. why it was developed; c. its features
- Syntactic Structure
- Variables
- Constants
- Operators
- Arrays
- Slices
- Maps
- Structs
- Functions
- Pointers
- Loops a. for i. range
- Conditional statements a. if b. if else c. else if i. break ii. continue Therefore, I decided to document everything I have covered, at the basic level, before I continue getting deeper and further. I believe this documentation has to play two vital roles:
- Help me develop a better grasp of everything I have learned or covered so far. 2. Help in giving another aspiring (or beginner) Golang developer insights into the basics of the language. Part II of this documentation shall be a continuation... from "Background History of Golang Development."
