One of my favorite parts of being a developer here at Viget is our
|
||||
[developer book club](https://viget.com/extend/confident-ruby-a-review).
|
||||
We've read [some](http://www.confidentruby.com/)
|
||||
[fantastic](http://www.poodr.com/)
|
||||
[books](http://martinfowler.com/books/nosql.html), but for our most
|
||||
recent go-round, we decided to try something different. A few of us have
|
||||
been interested in the [Go programming language](https://golang.org/)
|
||||
for some time, so we decided to combine two free online texts, [*An
|
||||
Introduction to Programming in Go*](http://www.golang-book.com/) and
|
||||
[*Go By Example*](https://gobyexample.com/), plus a few other resources,
|
||||
into a short introduction to the language.
|
||||
[Chris](https://viget.com/about/team/cjones) and
|
||||
[Ryan](https://viget.com/about/team/rfoster) put together a curriculum
|
||||
that I thought was too good not to share with the internet at large.

Go is an exciting language, and a great complement to the Ruby work we
|
||||
do. Working through this program was a fantastic intro to the language
|
||||
and prepared us to create our own Go programs for great justice. Give it
|
||||
a shot and let us know how it goes.
