With the high adoption of the Go language by developers and large companies, this has led companies to search for engineers with experience in Go.
This can create a lot of pressure of what to study to become a better engineer, this is very personal, it requires planning of what and when to study other subjects (even outside the engineering area).
In this blogpost some topics (with repositories and links) that I think are important to know in order to become an engineer person with even better Go knowledge, follow good practices for writing code, concepts of code structure (usually using design pattern), scalable code and clean code.
Style guide
I can't list only one link (repository) for this topic, I would recommend you to read for these 3 links and bring to your team's day to day life what best fits their reality — remember to use as base the official language documentation and add what makes sense from the other links
This repository holds the Uber Go Style Guide, which documents patterns and conventions used in Go code at Uber.

Clean Go Code
Preface: Why Write Clean Code?
This document is a reference for the Go community that aims to help developers write cleaner code. Whether you're working on a personal project or as part of a larger team, writing clean code is an important skill to have. Establishing good paradigms and consistent, accessible standards for writing clean code can help prevent developers from wasting many meaningless hours on trying to understand their own (or others') work.
We don’t read code, we decode it – Peter Seibel
As developers, we're sometimes tempted to write code in a way that's convenient for the time being without regard for best practices; this makes code reviews and testing more difficult. In a sense, we're encoding—and, in doing so, making it more difficult for others to decode our work. But we want our code to be usable, readable, and maintainable. And that requires…
Clean Architecture
In his book “Clean Architecture: A Craftsman’s Guide to Software Structure and Design” famous author Robert “Uncle Bob” Martin presents an architecture with some important points like testability and independence of frameworks, databases and interfaces.

Description
This is an example of implementation of Clean Architecture in Go (Golang) projects.
Rule of Clean Architecture by Uncle Bob
- Independent of Frameworks. The architecture does not depend on the existence of some library of feature laden software. This allows you to use such frameworks as tools, rather than having to cram your system into their limited constraints.
- Testable. The business rules can be tested without the…

A collection of awesome Go libraries and resources. This repository contains a list of variety of frameworks, template engines, articles and post, documentations, reactive and functional programming and much more which will increase your resourcefulness and might also help you to choose the tech stack for your next projects.
Project Guideline
This is a complicated subject, there is no standard that will work perfectly for what you are developing, I recommend understanding the concept of project architecture (not only Go) and together with your team understand what works for you, even though there are thousands of books to give you knowledge about the subject I recommend putting your hands in the code and allow you to make mistakes, it is the best way to evolve.
Read this content before any other
Now that you have read the previous link I will recommend a controversial repository by its name, it is not "Golang standards project layout", but there is a project structure that can help in the development of a new project - understand what makes sense for you (and your team), what doesn't, just ignore it.
golang-standards / project-layout
Standard Go Project Layout
Standard Go Project Layout
Translations:
Overview
This is a basic layout for Go application projects. It's not an official standard defined by the core Go dev team
; however, it is a set of common historical and emerging project layout patterns in the Go ecosystem. Some of these patterns are more popular than others. It also has a number of small enhancements along with several supporting directories common to any large enough real world application.
If you are trying to learn Go or if you are building a PoC or a simple project for yourself this project layout is an overkill. Start with something really simple instead (a single
main.gofile and
go.mod is more than enough).
As your project grows keep in mind that it'll be important to make sure your code is well structured…

Thank you so much for reading this post and I hope you find these repositories as useful as I do and will help you to become better go developer. Feel Free to give any suggestions and if you like my work you can follow me on Twitter
