Hello!
I am starting an internship this summer that will be using GoLang, and I am having trouble narrowing down the best learning resources. When I look for resources on Google, there are so many options to choose from.
I've looked at go.dev and w3, but does anybody have recommendations for quality resources, preferably free? Maybe a good YouTube breakdown?
Any anecdotes that you found helpful for learning would also be appreciated!
Thank you!
For context: I am well-versed in Java and decent with Python and C #. The internship project will involve database migration.

I understand how looking for quality learning resources can be very hard. While I do not know GoLang (not now; if I learn a new coding language, it would probably be GoLang), I do know what generally works for me learning new programming languages, in general. What I do is look at examples of code in the language and then that’ll teach me some basic syntax and how to do some very basic things, and then from there, you just need to think of very simple projects to do. Atleast from my perspective, you should always start coding before you do a long tutorial. And, I definitely do NOT recommend finding videos on YouTube about it, and especially not videos that show people doing it. If you want to know how to find a specific thing, you should look at its documentation or community conversations. I think that there shouldn’t be any pressure on what course you use; I generally hop off from those types of courses if I use them right when I learn the basics, then learn the rest on my own.
