100 Days of GO

This repository is a journal of my path to learning GO. By the end of the 100 days, you should be able to follow along by day and learn Go as well.

Day #1 21 July 2021

This should take you 60 min, and you can expect to learn how to setup a Go development enviornment and basic Git Hub Actions.

Exercise 1: Install GO and your choice of Integrated Development Enviornment (IDE)

Time: 15 minutes

• [Download GoLang][https://golang.org/]
• [Download Vs Code][https://code.visualstudio.com/download]

After you install both here is a screen shot of what it should look like after you run go version

To follow along follow these steps

Time: 10 minutes

Clone the existing repositiory to have the hello world go application, and the yml files needed for the github action.

git clone https://github.com/Cobra16319/100_Days_Of_Go.git

Use git tags to iterate with the CI system and track any changes updating the yml file logically as needed.

git tag v1

git push --tags

Day 2 of 100...

The focus today is learning Goroutines, how to write files, fetching data from an api, wait group and channels.

This project will use the offical NHL Hockey Data API. I am having issues getting the go.example.go coded so I will continue to work on that and write about it later.

• [NHL Hockey API] [https://statsapi.web.nhl.com/api/v1/teams]
• [JSON to GO converter] [https://mholt.github.io/json-to-go/] Credit to mholt for the converter.

Here is a photo of the converter that you should convert all of the data from the teams api from JSON to Go in:

To Do for Day 2

1. Get NHL API working locally with main.go
2. Figure out how to lint in go with Git Hub Actions
3. Select an Open Source security provider and integrate with Git Hub Actions

I am falling in love with Go! I need your help and support to survie the next 98 days
