You lost me at &quot;you need to create an account&quot;. Creating an account is a big step for me, I don&#x27;t open accounts on a whim. I need to be committed to something to be willing to open account with them.<p>Your site wants me to open an account before it is willing to show me something that would commit me.<p>Also, to be perfectly homest, I would never open an account to see some videos. The only player in that area who can generate enough commitment from me is Netflix.<p>Why, if I may ask, are you even asking me to open an account? Is this about you teaching me Go or is it about you trying to monetize me? What are you logging about me? Why not make account creation optional? I don&#x27;t want your site tracking my progress anyway (I&#x27;m paranoid that way).

I want to have 20+ exercises by the time the course is complete. There are about 13 planned as of now, so if you have suggestions or topics that you think would make good Go programming exercises I&#x27;d love to hear them =D<p>EDIT: And in other news, a few people have reported the welcome email going to their spam so if it happens to you please let me know and I&#x27;ll continue looking into why it is happening.

Write 20 different variants of mapping elements in a slice from one type to another. This will give you a fairly reasonable approximation of golang development.

Signed up for the coding excercises!Awesome site!What path would you recommend to someone who is coming from a bit of Python background. I see a lot of blurb about how Golang is the perfect fit for low latency web applications. Think “data intensive applications”. Also how good is the Golang tool chain for Raspberry pi and such like? Thanks

Go programming language, not the Gopher Internet protocol.<p>I wonder if there&#x27;s a Gopher server written in Go yet...

Thank you a ton for this one! I find Golang amazing and have done all the tutorials and can kinda use it but I&#x27;ve never build anything real in it, mostly because of lack of ideas. Thanks!

Looks great! I&#x27;ve been running through exercises on exercism.io, but this looks like a good next step in my Gopher journey.

This is fantastic. The exercises are non-trivial enough to be useful. One minor suggestion: if you can have the favicon set to your gopher, it can be great. Mine is a potentially narrow use case, but after logging in, I pinned this to a tab in safari, and the G throws me off a little.

Great website, the exercises look interesting and the focus on topics makes things clear.<p>I was looking for something like this but for C++ a few months ago and was quite disappointed by what I found. If someone here has some links to share, that would be great!

I think the idea is excellent, but I have (almost) no interest in Go and I struggle to improve my javascript. Do anyone knows about a similar experience for javascript ?

What is the slice of ints at the following URI about?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.calhoun.io&#x2F;hire-me&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.calhoun.io&#x2F;hire-me&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;m definitely going to be doing this. Your other sites and courses look badass too.<p>If I could afford your algorithms course I&#x27;d buy it immediately. I&#x27;ll have to save up.

This looks interesting - but is it usable without the videos?<p>I much prefer text - to the point that simple transcripts might be preferable to videos for me. So if the essential information is available as text and source code, I might want to give this a shot - but not if I can&#x27;t really get started without having to listen to&#x2F;&#x2F;watch videos.

I think I need to get these exercise gophers as stickers... The barbell gopher is great!
