I like that Go doesn't work with circular dependencies. JavaScript crowd doesn't even understand that any circular dependency is a bold sign of a bad architecture. Go compiler just tells you: "Improve your architecture or get off my eyes!"

100% agree on interfaces needing to click. I watched 100 videos on them and never really got it. Until I implemented my own Writer. Boom. It all made sense. A question I now ask when interviewing devs is “describe an interface in one sentence” If a dev can’t do that, we know their go knowledge is lacking. My own answer to that is simply “an interface describes an expected behavior.”

Actually these are some pretty good advices! I’ve been doing a side project in golang for the sake of learning for 4 weeks now and I hit a wall with the circular dependency thing.. Thanks for the tips Anth!

Those short videos are the best. The ongoing thought process of an experienced engineer giving some small, but very essential tips is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the tips, I been doing gophercises to really explore and learn the intricacies of Go. Your videos have been showing up which have been really helpful throughout my learning journey

Just started using context after doing a little practice with redis, figured it would become important in the future, nice timing

I recently started learning golang , it's all because of Meleky and your channel . it fun though😁

One of the best contents that you've made, I like a lot and will apply these tips in my work with go!!

I really like these small "to the point " advice type of videos :D

Great stuff !! 🎉🎉 thanks for your input 😊

Good stuff! A huge benefit of interfaces, and this is true in all languages that have them is testing. What if you have code that reads stdin? The easiest way to make it testable is to inject an io reader to a func and use Fscanf in that func rather than just using Scanf--code to abstractions, not concretions. Then, use strings.NewReader in your unit tests. Similarly, with file and network io. Bob's your uncle, easy peasy, coverage 100% achievable.

Very useful tips, thank you Anthony!

Yeah I thought this type of tips and acting like a pointer to other subjects / videos was good. Keep it up. I'm glad you highlighted the context package because I actually stumbled onto your channel looking for golang REST API videos and I saw you using context a lot without explaining it very much (I can understand for that video its a prerequisite to understand context already). I'm still learning it to get familiar with it for a project I'm building but this video was also helpful for telling me I need to learn more about interfaces because I have seen them but don't know how / when to use them at the time of writing this comment.

Could you make a video about production-level Server-Sent Events using Golang?

awesome video ty

Is there a way to get a discount on your golang course? In Poland almost 200$ is a lot of money...

I have seen your interface videos, Its very much helpful, and I imagine those example whenever I feel like using interface{}, Thanks !

Love your videos ❤

Interfaces represent capabilities the call sites call for. Interfaces should be defined in the callsite to realise the dependency inversion principle. The most ideal interface is the one consisting of one method e.g. UserSaver with Save method. This is the application of the interface segregation and dependency inversion principles.

I'd love a video about error formatting / wrapping / tagging in web applications. ie, when your errors are encountered in a handler, how do you determine which http status code matches the error?

Always welcomes you

my biggest problem as a jr. dev is that I'm too afraid to do things the wrong way, always looking up the best practices and methods instead of actually building something and learn from my mistakes.

My professor told me if you don’t understand the primitive data types programming isn’t for you Go to the college of business. After 6 months I still didn’t get it, she told me to quit programming, and I took it personally. I was able to graduate on time, and got a job where she worked at . Then she retired before we could start working together 😂 It was a mere coincidence

I do like folder for controllers, models, observers, middleware’s, repositories for separating data layer and filters, actions, is that good for a structured backend

Well interfaces are best piece of advice to beginners. That's really crucial in organising code in manner that your testing and depdency are setup properly. i think beginners should study bit more about the interfaces can be combined to form other interface such as io.ReadWriter or something else.

perfect. medium - short videos are fine thanks

at 8:00 I wouldn't use a reader, I'd pass a pointer to DoStuffWithBytes for payload, that's what they're for. There is a hit on performace when you're using readers / writers to pass data around the program. Just pass the memory address and you don't have to read / write.

I faced circular dependency issues while creating tests for my service layer and when mocking my repository layer...

very helpful

amazing video

what's the name of that vscode theme?

Anthony OWNS golang

Single letter variables are great ONLY if it's quickly used, with a short scope. I use them all the time when I for loop for _,d := range myDataLines but only if it's short -- 5 lines or less. Same with an if statement, or a anonymous function -- ONLY IF it has a short scope. I don't want to be 50 lines down and what the F#$@! is d.

didn't know that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson also gives Go Lang tutorials Love from India great stuff keep going.

3:32 Interfaces and Concurrency is the core of go and I'm having a hard time learning it 😢

Make more brother!

Maturity is when you realise - All the onion, hexagonal bullshit is just using interfaces and structs. - You understand why functions need to return error almost all the time. People who hate golang way of handling errors havn't code a big project period. - Why a small language like golang(in comparison to scala or some other thing) with less features makes you productive

Excel create with a million rows and 1000 column using golang

Nice tips as always. (Btw what is with the red prettier button? :P)

"Everybody is having fun, but in Golang you're not going to have fun." Sad, but true.

7:53 damn i guess im off to a bad start then

I really hate it when you've forked a repository, you want to modify the code, with the intent of a future pull request. But damn EVERYTHING is a FING Package! SO you've got to change all the includes because the author did a ton of includes to his own software as a package, and now I have to change those includes to match my repository. I could see if if those packages were useful outside the program -- but they're not. I almost never package, unless I can use the package in other code. I do break my code down into manageable chunks. So in my root directory I might have a file for flags.go, filein.go, fileout.go, restcalls.go -- each one describes the code that file may contain. AND the IDE understands the functions in each of these, go doc will even give you comments you made to your code on how to use the functions.

The shorter your videos are, the more I'm willing to watch. Please make them shorter. I like your thoughts and come to only listen to them to learn Go from you.

Listen, James, this is not good 😂😂

Simple and boring are what you want in a language.

easy to learn, hard to master.

hate to say that, but IMO this vid is mostly yapping. golang newcomers won't understand why would they need interfaces, readers, context etc.. and I think they wouldn't even bother checking out related videos because they didn't see any actual examples here.

The only thing I remembered from this video is that I need to play a lot with girls 🥂

Someone here watched some Primagen videos👀

I would argue that Golang is easy to learn but hard to master. It's maybe simple but not necessarily easy.
