Uh, sexist much? If you're going to use Go might want to get familiar with the CoC, buddy.

Neck yourself

Maybe this can give you ideas:

>>59258068
Try making sysadmin stuff maybe.

>>59258134
How is calling a bunch of randoms on the internet assholes being sexist?

System admin related programming has little in common with normal programming. You will be mostly looking to automate tasks through scripts rather than writing your own software.

>I'm completely blank on what i could make
You could kill yourself.

>>59258068
Go is a general purpose programming language. Meaning you can make just about anything in Go.

Although Go is a very nice and easy language the resources are not very abundant. You can look at https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Books

>>59258068
>I'm completely blank on what i could make.
It's solid for anything networking/concurrency related.

>Anyone have any ideas for something simple that would learn me the basics of programming and Golang?
Try https://tour.golang.org
Get "The Go Programming Language by Alan A. A. Donovan, Brian W. Kernighan"

>>59258068
Make what golang is suited best for, non-system programming webstuff. Like an image board, for example.

>>59259609
Are you an idiot, golang isn't a web language, take it from somebody who tried; that is not a road you want to go down.

>>59258068
Hey piece of shit.
Sorry to learn about your lack of imagination.
Maybe you can make an app that shows how much a of a faggot you are.

as a sysadmin start with python

>Go
>Sysadmin
I was job hunting a few months ago and never came across that. You'd be much better off learning python or powershell, depending if your workplace has mostly linux/windows servers.

But if it's merely to learn programming as a sysadmin, here's a few ideas:
>automating tasks such as installations
>checking configurations and sending emails, slack channel, etc to alert of discrepancies/issues
>log parsing
>doing stuff across multiple servers, ssh
>sending data to monitoring system
>using a rest api

Well, the only worthwile software by far written in golang is gogs.
Also unlike what >>59258942 says, golang isn't for general programming, because that would require metaprogramming facilities. So it's a network something DSL at best.
Now if you said, its libraries don't even suffice for web dev, a discipline that can practically done with shitty shell scripts, that sure isn't a good sign.

So C isn't for general programming either then?

>>59260769
That's right, and C even has shit tier metaprogramming by preprocessor. And for the most part, people don't use it as an general programming language.

>>59258209
It's a joke about their opinions

>>59258942
Thanks, i'l take a look!

>>59259255
Thanks!
