That's cool! Already thinking how to combine it with my Roadmap https://github.com/dzyanis/roadmap

This is the first time I've been introduced the concept of a Developer Roadmap, and I love it! Thank you so much for sharing and linking your sources as well! I am definitely going to do this.

Great intro into how to write nice Go code! One comment regarding interface pollution: While I agree that in many cases it's not needed to introduce an interface, sometimes interfaces help you hide the implementor type: I've now already had it multiple times that I switched from a 'struct implementor' to a 'func type implementor' without breaking compatabilities. Also, by exposing a struct, you also immediately expos…

Thanks for the suggestion. Feel free to open a PR if you like!

Not Bill, but I work for Ardan. I’m happy you enjoyed the class! Bill works tirelessly on this stuff and I’m sure he’ll be happy to see you got something out of it. As an aside, there’s nothing like attending a training in person and I highly recommend it. NOT because I work for Ardan, but because the quality is top notch. And Bill is really entertaining to watch teach X-D

Do you also facilitate trainings in Europe? (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Where are you located? We’re doing a 3 day in Miami next month.

I'm in Albany New York. Not sure if I can go the one next month.

Bill will actually be in Albany next month too - https://sites.google.com/view/devfest-gdg-capitalregion

We learn by coding That's why I wrote a book which teaches Go web dev example https://github.com/thewhitetulip/web-dev-golang-anti-textboo...

Nice book, I forked it a while back to make PRs on formatting and typos. I prefer these type of books, I wish more writes did this before publishing so it can be polished by the community before it hits the printers.

Learn Go with Tests is the best programming language course I've ever gone through.

That's all. Just sharing that the methodology worked so well. I felt like I could legitimately jump right into a Go developer team.

I can't upvote this enough.

I am going through this course- and it is fabulous. Covers tests, and even though the topic names might seem easy or trivial(I mean there is only so many ways you can write loops or define arrays), they include a lot of "extras" that make it fun- for example one of the topics might include details about how to write doctests and docs, another one might introduce table driven tests and provide advice on when to use them. Overall it is great.

I'd be very interested in seeing this approach applied to other language courses.

These guys teach all over the world. We just hosted a course in the states.

Their schedule is public and shows them on most continents: https://github.com/ardanlabs/gotraining#current-schedule
