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

I've had the pleasure of meeting Bill in person when we where speaking at the same conference a while back. I can really vouch for Bill, he is one of the best teachers out there!

Another vouch for Bill here. He's also a great speaker at conferences!

There's a list of his publicly-available talks on the Ardan Labs training repo:

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

One of my team members in Miami is new to Go and might benefit from the training. I couldn't find any info online though.

I saw bill shared this link on his twitter - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/3-day-advanced-ultimate-go-trai...

Learn Go with Tests is the best programming language course I've ever gone through. https://github.com/quii/learn-go-with-tests 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 prov…

I feel like tests have always been the best way for me to understand what's actually going on in the code. Seems like a great way to learn!

Is there something similar too this for Python or Django?

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

Thanks for sharing!

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.

You are welcome! Unfortunately, right now it's just in pre-alpha but I will try to finish asap

Probably Test-Driven Development with Python.

The Rust Programming Language book includes tests and how to break down code into packages and other good habits: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ Coming from a background in scripting languages, Rust is still a lot more difficult to learn than Go, but I found that book very helpful.

Unfortunately, the code examples in the Rust book still feels like toy projects / toy code.

What I like about the Go book is that it feels production-ready, even though it is simple. This is because it is following industry best practices. There's no "code in isolation", if that makes sense.
