I needed to learn Go quickly for a small little side project and I was able to run through the fundamentals Go track in about a week and a half doing a few exercises here and there.

I’ve been exposed to quite a few programming languages so a lot of the common principles are there for me. What I really needed was to learn how Go is different and what the unique things about it are.

For example, I didn’t need to learn about why loops are important. What I did like learning is how a for loop in Go was structured and how to use it in different contexts. Utilizing range was a great thing I picked up from their examples.

Exercise is a great hands-on tool to supplement and support learning.

Right? That’s exactly what I wanted and didn’t get. But I did get bombarded with a half dozen ads in my search through the article including one that wanted me to pay them for this stellar reporting.

This was a discussion last week in this same community. There was a comment thread that talked a little more about it.

There’s more ads on that page than content too. I can’t tell if there a hidden joke here or what.

I thought so too then I mathed. 1% of 8 billion is 80 million. Population of Australia is not even 26 million. Those numbers were just too big to comprehend and work with in my head.

No worries on the short notice, thank you for the heads up! Sincerely appreciate the transparency.

1000% agree. Im a huge fan of all things Legend of Zelda and this one still stands as a masterpiece to me as well.

War. War never changes.
