There are lots of excellent resources here:

https://golang.org/doc/

I especially recommend "A Tour of Go" and "Effective Go", and many articles under The Go Blog, such as "Go Slices: usage and internals"

Hey!

My peaks, that helped me a lot, back when I started with Go (depending on what's your prefered way to learn and how fast do you have to learn it, some might be less useful than the others. But it's worth to have the options):

- Books

Go in Action — an extreamly good introduction to the language

Go Programming Blueprints — this one is focusing on some small but practical examples

- Docs

https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments — worth getting familiar after some time; it'd help with the understanding why lots of Go code in the wild is written in the way it's written ;)

- Video series (YouTube)

Go in 5 minutes

Just for func

- Blogs (no particular order)

Hope that will help.
