Top 5 Resources to Learn to Code in Golang | Getting Started with Go

Here are my top 5 resources (plus bonus tools and project ideas!) to learn to code in Golang! I dove into Go recently but had to learn it really quickly. Go is described as a mix of Python, C++, and Java for the modern age. It has a small amount of keywords making it easy to learn, and it has fast compilation, and handles concurrency really well.

Goland IDE by Jetbrains: https://www.jetbrains.com/go/
I LOVE THIS IDE! It’s been amazing to work with for Go, and helped teach me Go concepts because it would be yelling at me when I did things incorrectly. Really helped me solidify in my mind how interfaces work.
