3 Day Go Course from Rob Pike

[mon...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I cannot find the "3-day Go course" from golang.org now. I really love
these slides, actually. (partly because I learned Go from them.)

Is it because of go 1 making those slides obsoleted? However, I like the
way of learning from slides: simple, less wordy. Hence I would like to
recommend them to my friends who want to learn Go.

BTW, because some of my friends are not good at English. I want to
translate Rob's slides to Chinese. Can we find the source of those
slides? (Are they created by LaTeX?) Is there any copyright issue I need
to consider? I didn't find any copyright notice inside slides.

Regards,
-Monnand

Me too.

You're right.

I don't think they're created by LaTeX.

I see. Thanks!

It might be good to create yes-another 3-day Go course slides --- just
keep Rob's slides up-to-date would be find (by adding/changing examples?)

I also used (and liked) them as a starting point. Here are direct links:

Another me too. These slides have been the most concise, complete and idiomatic introduction into Go I came across. The section on interfaces is probably the best HOW-TO you can get.

I've found that prospective Gophers have enjoyed the Tour much more.  They can play with the concepts as they're using them, and it has a very low barrier to entry.  The tour was updated for Go 1, and I believe it was determined that it contained much the same material (if not more) and thus was a better starting point than the course.  If there is something in particular that you liked about the course, perhaps it would be a good candidate for addition to the Tour.

You should consider using the go tour instead of the slides.
Also, if you want some kind of book, check this one:

I don't know if there are translations to chinese, but I am
translating to portuguese and isn't very difficult. It uses ReST and
sphinx to build the html.

Others have said as much, but just to reiterate:

The slides are gone because they were out of date, and it was deemed
more useful to focus effort on the interactive tour than to spend time
updating them.
Try http://tour.golang.org/.
