Milestone 1: Go Foundations & Tooling

🟦 Milestone 1: Go Foundations & Tooling

Welcome to the Minimalist Kitchen of Go. Before we build high-speed services, we must understand the core tools and the “Go Way” of thinking.

📚 Slow-Paced Deep Dives (University Modules)

• Module 1: The Compiler & Binary (The Instant Meal): GO-101. How Go turns code into a single, portable file.
• Module 2: Variables & Types (The Strict Containers): GO-102. Strong typing and the “Zero Value” concept.
• Module 3: Functions & Packages (The Recipe Book): GO-103. Organizing code with simplicity.
• Module 4: The Go CLI (The Swiss Army Knife): GO-104. Formatting, building, and running.

🥅 Milestone Goals

1. Understand the difference between Compiled and Interpreted languages.
2. Build a single, standalone Binary that runs on any machine.
3. Master Static Typing to prevent runtime errors.
4. Organize your project using Go Modules.
