My goal is to study the Go language so I can read the code of Zenon Network. I hope others will join me in this journey.
Option 1) If you have “some” experience with computers and/or programming this course is good. It’s what I’m taking. From what i can see, the only “experience” you need is to understand what a variable is and what an object is. Google that and you probably meet the requirements.
It would be fun if we can come together and code some of these reference projects as we learn. I’ll be posting my progress. Hope you follow along and others join in. You just gotta start.
Missed opportunity to go for “Hello, alien world!” smh
I’ll join you, done with flutter and dart for a while. Read 3 books and did 2 courses, messed around with some apps. Still working on understanding some state management practices with Bloc (which syrius uses).
Learning go should def strengthen my programming foundations. If I’m not mistaken Go can directly mess around with memory allocation like C, so at least looking forward to what that looks like/what the usefulness of that flexibility means for a programmer.
ya, it’s like C in that regard. But Go has garbage collection so you don’t need to deallocate things from memory. Apparently that can be difficult to manage in C. I’m learning about this now.
Yeah, I tried the first exercise for Dart in Exercism and I can see how their approach is the best for learning as it forces you to actually use a real IDE, command line tools, and even run tests. I don’t do any of that when reading books or going through video courses
