First Batch of Learn Go the Hard Way Videos

You can read this email at https://learncodethehardway.com/emails/23-learn-go-now-with-more-video/

As promised, I have published a big chunk of videos for Learn Go the Hard Way, Module 1. I've published videos for every exercise except 0, 2, and 5. I didn't like the audio and recording of those missing videos so I'll be redoing them later today. I also may re-record Exercise 15 as well.

On a side note, I've been using Reaper (and audio DAW) to do my video editing and I managed to finally automate quite a lot of my video editing with it. Yes, Reaper is actually an amazing video editor once you rework its layout. If anyone is interested in how I do this, let me know.

Read it For Free

You can read Learn Go the Hard Way for free at:

Videos are only $15 to cover the cost of hosting them, but I might have to raise it to around $19 once all the videos are done (since there's now more bits to transmit).

What's Done

This batch of videos includes the following exercises:

• 01: Gearing Up
• 03: Building a First Program
• 04: How to Write Code
• 06: Basic Syntax: Variables
• 07: Basic Syntax: Types
• 08: Flow Control: If
• 09: Flow Control: for
• 10: Flow Control: switch
• 11: Basic Syntax: Functions
• 12: Flow Control: defer
• 13: Error Handling
• 14: Reading Input
• 15: Project: Adventure Game

These exercises are missing videos while I re-record them:

• 00: Introduction
• 02: Important Basic Information
• 05: Basic Syntax: Packages

Module 3: First Testing...Test

I've also created the first example test for the module 3 "now test it" feature in the course. You can take a look here:

As the module progresses I'll be including more of the Go testing library and demonstrating more tricks, but not getting too involved in it so that it's not overwhelming.

Feedback Welcome

As usual, if you find flaws, errors, mistakes, or things that don't work, then let me know. Just hit reply and I'll get it fixed. I also appreciate all the bug reports so far.

Thank you so much,

Zed
