Brian's list is good. I started with the tour and picked relatively simple tools I wanted to write, then looked up what I needed as projects advanced. My list of GitHub Go projects is getting unwieldy now, a few years later. It's an addiction. Just start with simple projects and set some increasingly advanced goals as you learn. It doesn't matter if you're recreating something that exists if you're learning from it.
Reading the docs for the included packages should give you an idea of what's built in, and it covers a lot. The basics to fetch and serve HTTP, sending mail, doing RPC and most of what you're likely to need in crypto, although sometimes a 3rd party may provide an easier/better way to do things. If you're building web servers you may need some middleware too (neater REST endpoint setup, authentication, rate-limiting). There's a newbie channel on the Gopher Slack (you have to join it manually, as you only start with #general) where you should be able to get some help with specifics. Just start something and ask as you get stuck! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
