Hey, Glad you are here. Welcome to my Golang Journey. After some time of research and peer pressure😅 from colleagues, i finally decided to learn it anyways.
I will be updating this repo from time to time and adding more notes, resources and projects.😉
In my case, i will be using Visual Studio Code as my editor on my windows machine. After installing VS Code, i then went ahead and installed go in my environment by downloading the windows installer from go.dev/dl. At the time of writing this, i am currently using go version go1.17.6 windows/amd64.
Back on my VS Code, we need to install go extension from the Extension Market. (Specifically the one highlighted below.)
Once the installation completes, depending on your situation, you need to install extra tools which are missing if it's your first install. If you get errors, just select Install all. In my case, 9 tools were missing.
With that said and done, we are good to GO.
