Go language introduction learning materials
DotInstall
First, I got a feel for the Go language with DotInstall.
After the lessons “#22 Let’s try using goroutines” and “#23 Let’s try using channels”, I read the following articles to deepen my understanding of goroutines and channels.
- go言語初心者が図を書きながらgoroutineやgo channelを理解する(Part1) - Qiita
- go言語初心者が図を書きながらgoroutineやgo channelを理解する(Part2) - Qiita
A Tour of Go
After DotInstall, I did “A Tour of Go”. You might be fine with just “A Tour of Go” without doing the DotInstall lessons. It’s free.
- Japanese: A Tour of Go
- English: A Tour of Go

Books I haven't read
Since it’s an introductory book for Go language, I decided not to read it.
In Amazon reviews, it says:
Those expecting something like Rails Tutorial for "golang web application development introduction" should be careful.
Since it seemed different from what I was expecting, I decided not to read it.
Looking at the book title and Amazon reviews, I thought it was “more like an introductory book” and decided not to read it.
There are many other books, but TBD…?
That’s all from the Gemba where I want to smoothly get into Go language.
