Context

This is for programmers who want to ramp on Go, without resources that reiterate programming fundamentals. This would not be a good list of resources for folks who are learning to program using Go as their first language. Some resources that I dismiss here would be super valuable for newer folks. This is a selection of resources for those who understand programming fundamentals in a different language already.

Advice

1. First steps = Tour of Go
2. Don't waste time on Go Fundamentals-type books - it all lives in tour of Go.
3. Consider joining the Gophers Slack
4. When you need help, the Go Playground allows you make a quick scratch file and share it. Others trying to help can run your code easily this way.
