Unlock the power of Go with our Go Syntax series, meticulously crafted for busy professionals like you. Designed to fit seamlessly into your spare time, this series allows you to incrementally master Go syntax through short, repeatable exercises—no lengthy projects here!

This is the first of three volumes, each a self-contained gem. Start with this foundational volume to gain the essential knowledge that will make the next two volumes even clearer and more impactful.

Join us and transform your coding skills, one step at a time.

What you will learn

To give you a more effective study environment, this course is purposefully limited in scope. 
Attempting to cover everything about GO would not be practical, and it would do you a disservice.
However, you will learn quite a lot in a truly short time, and you can always return to repeat the exercises.

This is the first volume of a Computer Literacy Series with emphasis on the Go language,
but if you are already familiar with programming and just want to see how Go syntax is written,
this course has taken your prior knowledge into consideration by keeping explanations simple and to the point.
It serves as a learning tool and a review tool as well.

Even if you have taken Go before, this volume is written to expand awareness on the subject.

The Go Language: Your First Code Adventure covers the fundamentals of GO in plain language,
and as quickly as possible for practicality and enjoyment reasons.

When you less expect, you would have covered the following topics:

• Basic syntax introduction.

• Variables.

• Datatypes and their purpose.

• Control flow with if, else, and switch.

• Basic functions, arguments, parameters.

• Passing data by value.

• Passing data by reference with pointers. (Great explanation)

• Loops.

• How to install and test GO locally.

• Basic command line or terminal skills. (step by step)

• How to get input data from the keyboard

• How to create files and folders via the terminal.

• How to create a GO file.

• How to run a GO file.

• How to create an executable file from GO source code.

• Introduction to input output in GO and how to write to a file.

• Some advanced concepts that need to be covered early on.

(Data structures will be introduced on other volumes. 
You will not need them for the GO exercises discussed in this volume).

Each lesson is short and to the point

I know, it is hard to return home after a long day's work and still try learning something anew.
You want to study a programming language, perhaps your very first one, but at the end of the day, your energy is just not there.

So, what can you do?

• First, choose a programming language that matters in 2025 and beyond, one that is not in constant morphing and deprecation. Example: The Go Language.

With so many languages to choose from, what if you pick the wrong one and only discover your mistake months later?
Should you go with JavaScript, Python, C#, or C?  Should you select a more modern one, like the GO language from Google?
So many decisions and so little time to waste.

This course will assist you in your GO learning journey. Learning Go will also help you learn other languages later.

• Second, choose a short (but meaningful) course of study.

My friend, if you feel overwhelmed but still want to learn something new, this course series is for you.
First, you will be learning one of the hottest languages in the planet, the Go language or Golang.
Learning Go will put you ahead of the game.

But even if you don't care about language popularity and demand, the Go language is a great tool to work with because it is simple, very powerful, and contemporary. Go will also help you understand what other languages are trying to do, such as PHP, JavaScript, and Python.

Yes, being a well written language, studying Go may clear up any confusion you have about older languages you already know.

You see, many languages offer a variety of ways to accomplish a similar outcome.
In contrast, Go offers a one-way to write code and write it well, and that makes the language easier to learn at first and easier to program with. It also makes you a better programmer because you have more energy to think about solutions rather than syntax.

For example, when it comes to loops, why should you learn so many keywords, such as while, do, until, for, and so on?

The creators of GO decided that we only need a single keyword to declare a loop, the for keyword.

When programmers know what they are doing, they avoid unnecessary abstractions that bloat the language.
You can write any other loop outcome by just using FOR.
As a benefit, you will not have to memorize unnecessary commands that lead to the same outcome, and you will think more of finding solutions to help you in your professional projects.

That's simplicity at its best.

• In addition, this course series takes into consideration your limited daily study time.
  Here, topics are written recursively and with plenty of self-contained exercises so that you don't have to start afresh when you forget things after taking a few days off.

• Every concept is explained in plain language, avoiding industry jargon.
  If you concentrate on this a few minutes a day, you will learn and relearn how to program in GO.

Summary

And that is it, my friend. I was thinking of busy people while designing the course.
It's like something I wish I had when I began my Go studies instead of spending countless hours doing extra research to discover why things worked the way they work. Time is money!

If you invest a few minutes a day in it, you will learn and grow, and you'll still have enough of your evening to enjoy quality  moments with your family and friends.
