+ Free book: https://miek.nl/files/go/Learning-Go-latest.pdf
+ Free book: http://openmymind.net/The-Little-Go-Book

Both books while not new are meant as introductory ones. First one
has many exercises for the freshmen.

Hope this helps,

It is not exactly whole "Go as introductory language" course yet but it is
intended as resources repository for go-based CS101 course at KTH in
Stockholm. (CS101 teaches the essential ideas of Computer Science for a
zero-prior-experience audience.) I hope that KTH will eventually give
this course online as free "self-paced" one.

In meantime you may enroll in some other free basic courses online e.g.
https://www.khanacademy.org/computer-programming/welcome-to-computer-science/882454257
https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/Engineering/CS101/Summer2014/about

Hope this helps,

[go-nuts] Resources to learn Go as a first programming language?

2018-02-14 Thread Espinho
Can someone point me out some good resources for learning Go as first 
programming language? All the resources I saw until now assume some 
"programming background". I already did some online javascript tutorials, 
so I know the very basics (variables, arrays, etc). I would much rather 
prefer something "learning while building something" as opposed as learning 
only syntax etc.
I've been doing Learn How To Code: Google's Go (golang) Programming Language 
 on Udemy, but the instructor 
says to clone the repo (which already has all the code) and then we just 
follow the lectures staring at the code on screen. I'm finding myself 
searching in the video for the screen where all the code is displayed so I 
can type it myself. Maybe I'm being to harsh on him, but that's how I feel.
Thanks in advance and excuse may English.
