Veeresh, Welcome to the world of programming. It is a beautiful world and has been my joy for fifty years. It is magical to have a robot friend to multiply your abilities by millions of times.
Learning about programming at the very start is a small group of tasks: learning a few details like “where do I type” and “how do I start it” and understanding the nature of the magic; unlike the Sourcer’s Apprentice in Fantasia you can’t just point, the robot is faithful but not so smart. You may be surprised at the need to give very simple commands. Many people learn best by example. The Golang Tour that Brian mentioned has this virtue. Not only can you see what’s happening, but you can type changes right there to try it your way. Give that a quick look. I’ve taught students/classes but long ago. I do not know what’s the best “new person learning to program a computer” guide out there now, or if any of those use Go as their environment. I learned alone in the 4th grade (age ten) using grim tools for a child (keypunch, FORTRAN, big computer centers) — so whatever you do will be better! It is not hard, is fun, and offers many rewards. Good luck, Michael On Fri, Jul 19, 2019 at 7:02 AM Brian Hatfield <bmhatfi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Veeresh, > > Out of the links I provided, The Little Go Book is the closest to a "new > programmer" book, but I don't think it really meets that need.
