A tour of Go

Another resource provided by the Go team is A Tour of Go. This website, https://tour.golang.org, is built on top of the playground mentioned in the previous section. The tour was my first introduction to the language, and when I completed it, I felt well-equipped to start tackling projects in Go. It walks you through the language step by step along with working code examples so that you can run and modify the code to get familiar with the language. It is a practical way to introduce a newcomer to Go. If you have never used Go at all, I encourage you to check it out.

The preceding screenshot shows the first page of the tour. On the right-hand side, you will have a small embedded playground with the code sample relevant to the short lesson shown on the left-hand side. Each lesson comes with a short code example that you can run and tinker with.
