+# Starting off
+1. [A Tour of Go](https://tour.golang.org/welcome/1): This is an interactive guide to learning some of the basics.  You can code right in the web browser and see it work.
+2. [The Go Playground](https://play.golang.com/): This is what’s used in A Tour of Go to code in the browser.  In addition to coding in the browser, you can share the code.  This is good for a couple things:
+    a. Testing how something in the language works.
+    b. Sharing code.  This is the standard for passing along snippets of code.  If you have any questions, create an example and then ask your question based on that.
+3. [Effective Go](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html): I recommend this as your first read.  It covers everything you need to know to start writing useful programs.
+4. [The Go Programming Language (Book)](http://www.gopl.io/): This covers almost all of the language.  If you are still interested after Effective Go and playing around with some code in the Playground, give this a read.
+5. [GoogleTechTalks - The Go Programming Language (YouTube)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKnDgT73v8s): The video is old, but almost all the information in there is still accurate and useful.
+6. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install): This has instructions for all Operating Systems that Go supports to install and use Go.
+7. [Use an IDE(Integrated Development Environment)](https://golang.org/doc/editors.html): You can write programs using Notepad if you want to, but as your programs get bigger, you’ll want to use an IDE.  I recommend [GoLand](https://www.jetbrains.com/go/).  I’ve been using it for several years and I’ve found it to be the most productive.

+# Keeping up
+1. [Go Blog](https://blog.golang.org/): The articles are not frequent, but are high quality.
+2. [Twitter](https://twitter.com/golang): The account tweets when there are new blog posts and other important info.
+3. [GoLang Weekly Mailing List](https://golangweekly.com/): They do most of the work for you on keeping up on the language.
