My Journey Learning Go
Starting with Python 🐍
About 3 years ago at work they told us we would need to start learning Python since most of the enterprise GUI tools would be going away. I was pretty excited at the thought of learning how to program computers, I’ve always enjoyed learning and the prospect of unlocking the secrets of computers sounded like a lot of fun. Like learning any new language it started out slow and I am an inpatient person so going through the abc’s of Python was some what excruciating for me But I slogged on, and what I found worked best, was forcing myself to use the language as my only option for my work. I built things every day, sosmetimes horribly but this is when I really started to take a liking to coding and und that I have a real knack for it. Python got me interested in learning more and growing that skill to see where it could take me.
Discovering Go
I’m not sure how I discovered Go to be honest. I’ve always been fascinated by Google and there approach to solving problems. If you’re interested, check out this book 📘. I had access to Udemy and it was from here that I saw a course for learning Go and it looked really interesting to me so without hesitation I signed up. The course was awesome, and the guy who teaches it, Todd McLeod does an excellent job of walking you through the basics.
