BAT to Golang: The story of a career-changing programmer

With the continuous development of technology, the work of programmers is also constantly changing. Some programmers leave their original industries and turn to technical work in other fields. I am one of them. I used to be a Java engineer at BAT company, and now I have turned to technical work in the field of Golang. This is the story of a career-changing programmer.

Why change careers?

After working at BAT Company for several years, I deeply realized that the field of programming language is a very important issue. Java is a very popular programming language in BAT companies, but Java's problems are also very obvious: its development efficiency is relatively low, it requires a long program compilation time, and it requires the use of a large number of third-party tool packages. Even when using IDE tools such as Eclipse, there are still various problems, causing us to spend a lot of time debugging programs.

Compared with Java, Golang has higher development efficiency and faster program compilation time, and its language features are also very beautiful. In addition, Golang has great advantages in handling high concurrency, which Java cannot match. Of course, Golang also has problems such as ink marks, but compared to Java, it is a better choice.

Learn Golang

After I decided to switch to Golang, I started learning this language. Like learning other languages, learning Golang requires grasping its core concepts, such as Goroutine, Channel, etc. In addition, we also need to be familiar with Golang's grammar rules, standard library, etc.

Learning Golang requires certain programming experience and programming foundation. If you have no programming foundation, it is recommended to learn a basic language first, such as Python. In addition, we also need to have good English reading skills, because Golang official documents and materials are all in English.

It is best to have a good learning resource when learning Golang, such as the Go language Chinese website, official documents, etc. These resources are very helpful. In addition, we can also master Golang faster by participating in some online courses, live classes and other learning methods.

Turn to the Golang field

After learning Golang, I began to understand and participate in actual work in the Golang field. Different from Java work, work in the Golang field pays more attention to practice and development efficiency. We should use the advantages of Golang to solve practical problems, such as using Goroutine to process data concurrently, and use some automation tools to improve development efficiency.

When participating in work in the Golang field, we also need to understand the current popular technologies and tools in the Golang field. For example, use web frameworks such as Gorilla and Gin, use development tools such as GoLand and VSCode, and understand container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, etc. Only by understanding these can we better adapt to work in the Golang field.

Summary

Changing careers is an exciting and fulfilling thing. Although changing careers requires facing many new challenges and difficulties, these challenges can also inspire us to grow and progress rapidly. I believe that as long as we have enough enthusiasm and perseverance, we can achieve greater achievements in new fields.
