🎯Motive behind Choosing Go

As a tech enthusiast,I always wants to learn something new inorder to broaden my knowledge of emerging technology.Last month,I had an opportunity to attend a interview,and luckily,I got selected for the Final assesment phase,The company recommended to have a good grasp of Go(GoLang) before the assesment,so i decided to dive into it.

🔖Resources Used to Learn

I began with the offical Go documentation, but I found it a bit overwhelming and wasn't sure where to start,so then I went to Youtube and searched for tutorials,After some time I discovered an exordinary playlist by Mr.Hitesh Choudary that made Go Simple,Engaging,Practical.

👉 Go Playlist: Let's Go with GoLang by Hitesh Choudary

I'm truly grateful to Hitesh sir for providing such a beginner-friendly course.I provided hands-on experience while encouraging me to refer the Go official documentation alongside the videos.He covered almost every topic a beginner should know.

🎖️Here’s what I’ve explored so far:

Basics and syntax of Go
Handling web requests
Creating REST APIs
Building servers (with and without databases)
Integrating with MongoDB
Using Go Modules (GoMod) to manage dependencies
Working with Goroutines for concurrency
Understanding Race Conditions, Mutex, Channels, and how Deadlocks occur

To track my progress and help others who are also learning, I’ve uploaded my practice code here:

👉 GitHub Repo – Learn_Go_Repo

Next Steps⏭️

Learning Go has really been a Great experience,and I'm excited to apply these concepts in real-world projects soon.

Thank you for Reading!🙌

Who am I? Why I started writing on Dev.to?

Hey Devs!👋

I'm Aruna Subramanian, a pre-final year B.Tech Information Technology student with a deep passion for learning and exploring technology

As a Beginner, I started my journey with MERN Stack. That was actually a turning point. I had the opportunity to attend a boot camp on the MERN Stack, organized at our institute by Rampex Technologies. I'm really grateful to my Mentor,Mr. Mohan Raj, He didn't just teach us the technical concepts, he also shared many valuable real-world experiences and often spoke about the power of the tech Community.

His mentorship truly inspired me. Since then, I've started building MERN stack applications on my own, and the learning hasn't stopped.

From Learner to Mentorpreneur

Beyond just learning, I've been passionate about mentoring and sharing knowledge. I love guiding others, and that led me and my friend Hemalatha to start mentoring our juniors.

This blend of learning and guiding made me realize:
I'm a Tutor and I'm proud of it.

We aim to keep growing this journey, helping others while growing ourselves.

Why I started writing on Dev. to

This is my very first post here, and I'm excited about it!

I decided to start writing here

To track my learning journey.
To build the habit of journaling things I learn.
To give back by sharing insights that might help others start.
And to become a better communicator and thinker through writing.

I will be using this space to write about my experiences learning tools and technologies that I'm exploring.

Thank you for reading!!🙌

If you're also a student, learner, or mentor. I'd love to connect, collaborate, and grow together.
