play-with-go.dev

play-with-go.dev is a series of hands-on, interactive, browser-based guides that introduce the tools required to work with the Go programming language. It is the natural next step after "A Tour of Go" which introduces the language itself. play-with-go.dev covers the various subcommands of the go command, staticcheck and many other tools that will make writing Go programs that much easier and fun!

About

play-with-go.dev was created by Paul Jolly and Marcos Nils. Guides are built using the popular play-with-docker platform (created by Marcos Nils and Jonathan Leibiusky). Guides are served via https://play-with-go.dev/ and run in a user's browser, presenting the guide content on the left, and an interactive terminal on the right. This terminal is connected to a remote session hosted in Google's Cloud.

play-with-go.dev is an experiment designed to test the hypothesis that interactive guides are a more engaging medium for learning when it comes to developer tools. The go command and modules lend themselves very well to this type of guide therefore.
