Beginner resources? (lemmy.world)

After asking for a first programming language here, I've decided learning Go. After some searching I've found that the beginner learning resources are some years old. Can anyone suggest some beginner resources for someone that likes to learn by doing stuff? Thank you.

I would not recommend Julia or Clojure. Go is a decent shout... Though it really depends on what you want to make. Games? Web sites? Automation? Etc.

If web sites then Go is an excellent first choice. You will need to learn HTML/CSS at least too and maybe JavaScript.

I learnt Go from Go by Example which was good, though it does assume some knowledge. Go is a nice simple language to start with.
