Go Fundamentals: Gopher Guides

32 minutes

This compilation of excerpts offers a comprehensive guide to the Go programming language, covering fundamental concepts for developers. Topics range from setting up modules and managing dependencies, including using tools like go mod init and go get, to basic language elements such as data types (numbers, strings, booleans), variable declaration, and the Go compiler and garbage collection. The text further explores more advanced topics like arrays, slices, maps, control structures (for loops, switch statements), functions, methods, structs, interfaces, error handling (panics, errors, stack traces), generics with type constraints, concurrency using goroutines and channels, synchronization with waitgroups, errgroups, and mutexes, and working with the file system and the context package for managing requests and cancellations. The provided sections also include details on testing methodologies in Go, such as table-driven testing and subtests, and touch on best practices and idiomatic Go code.
