My first Go Program
Many years ago I managed to find the Java JDK for v1.3. This was definitely a dive head-first into learning a new language. It's always been said that if you can learn one programming language, then you can learn another programming language, and that is certainly true.
Despite my success at using Java in my career, I have found it very useful to learn other technologies as well, such as Spring, Docker, Hibernate, REST, etc. At this point, I see some companies using the Go Programming Language, and I decided to check it out. I have no professional experience with Go as I am just learning it right now, and most of my knowledge comes from watching YouTube videos.
As part of my commitment to learning Go, with the best IDE available, I have invested in licensing a copy of GoLand IDE from JetBrains. This will become my tool of choice for Go development. In the hopefully near future, I'd like to be able to run Go from the back-end and serve RESTful API's and JSON as well as GraphQL endpoints. Just like in Java/Spring where I have a PhoneBook (or Contacts) app, I'd hope that a version in Go would show my knowledge of this tool.
