Introduction

Every project needs to start somewhere. So it makes sense to start where most programmers begin their journey.

The Code

Here’s our first Go program:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, World!")
}

This program imports the fmt package and prints “Hello, World!” to the console. Nice and simple.

If you’re new to Go, let me introduce you to the Go Playground. You should be able to run this example there!

Wrap Up

There we have it - first project complete.

Enjoyment: 2/5

There isn’t too much to get excited about with this project, though it’s always fun getting something off the ground.

Learning: 1/5

Nothing new learned here, but that’s expected.
