Time to learn the backend

I’m starting back end dev!

I’ve been meaning to learn go and build something in the language for a probably a year now but never got the motivation to actually start it. But it’s a new year and I’m looking for ways to improve myself as a developer.

Tentative Timeline:

Learn basics of go
Go through the “Let’s Go” book
Go through the “Let’s Go Further” book
Docker & CI/CD
Microservices

So far I’m using boot.dev to learn Go. I might go through the web servers course as well, just for a nice overview before diving deeper with a book. We’ll see.

I’ll assume that it’ll take me around 1 month per step so if I work on it a little bit every day for 1-3 hours, I’ll be finished by end of summer!

I think to keep myself on track, I’ll write one blog post per week in order to keep track of what I’ve learned.
