Ultimate Guide to Golang Development for Beginners
summary
Walks through a production‑grade Go setup from downloading the go binary to a runnable Docker image, showing exact commands and tools: dependency management with go mod init and go list -m, editors (vim+vim‑go, GoLand, VS Code), unit testing with testing/testify and mockery, coverage via go test -cover and -coverprofile, cross‑compile builds with GOOS/GOARCH and go build, and a multi‑stage Docker build to a scratch image that produces ~1 MB container images; demos compile, test, build and run the final image successfully.
