<p>Can someone point me out some good resources for learning Go as first programming language? All the resources I saw until now assume some "programming background". I already did some online javascript tutorials, so I know the very basics (variables, arrays, etc). I would much rather prefer something "learning while building something" as opposed as learning only syntax etc.
I've been doing Learn How To Code: Google's Go (golang) Programming Language on Udemy, but the instructor says to clone the repo (which already has all the code) and then we just follow the lectures staring at the code on screen. I'm finding myself searching in the video for the screen where all the code is displayed so I can type it myself. Maybe I'm being to harsh on him, but that's how I feel.
Thanks in advance and excuse may English.</p>
<hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>jackmott2: <pre><p>I have been doing a twitch stream that does just this, I assume no prior knowledge, and we use all free, cross platform toos. See <a href="http://gameswithgo.org" rel="nofollow">gameswithgo.org</a>.
Past episodes are all up on youtube</p></pre>Biofobico: <pre><p>Thank you for uploading the streams to youtube. It's impossible for me to watch it live due to timezone so you got yourself a sub.
I also found <a href="https://www.golang-book.com/books/intro" rel="nofollow">An Introduction to Programming in Go</a> but I don't know if its good or already outdated.</p></pre>jackmott2: <pre><p>That looks like a good resource, Go information can't be too outdated, the language has been relatively stable.</p></pre>Biofobico: <pre><p>Thanks for clarifying it for me. Just watched <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9LPV44RLv4" rel="nofollow">EP. 02</a> and I learned more in that hour or so than from all the other resources I tried before. You are very clear and concise in your explanations and that for a non native English speaker its a major benefit. Also I really enjoyed watching the logic behind doing the stuff in one way as opposed to the other.
Thank you very much to get me excited about learning the language and not being able to sleep now :)</p>

I'll give the updated version a try.
