Full Stack Journey 045: Learning To Program In Go

Ready, set, Go! In today’s episode, Scott and three guests—Lee Briggs of Pulumi (also see his personal blog), Jeremy Rickard of VMware, and Adam Simpson of Sparkbox—discuss learning the Go programming language. Go is very popular for today’s cloud-native projects, and so learning Go could be a valuable addition if you spend lots of time in the cloud-native space.
Scott and his guests discuss:

* Why learn Go?
* How the guests got started learning Go
* Resources they found helpful
* Advice for Go newbies
* What they wish they’d known when they first started with Go
* What’s next in their Go learning journey

Resources mentioned by Lee, Jeremy, and Adam are included below. Enjoy!
