You know all those “Learn this programming language in 72 hours!” Tutorials you see everywhere?

Im looking for the exact opposite.

I want “Learn Go in a year”. Written by people who dont have a short attention span, for people who dont have a short attention span.

Any “learn things the slow way” resources out there you know about?

C and/or Go preferred.

Isn't that just picking up a book on the subject and working through it?

I usually:

1. Find interesting project on Github

2. Attempt to compile/run said code

3. Swear like a soldier and then try to create a separate environment to try compiling again with a libc from 1997.

4. Give up and read the code. Slowly, and praying for comments.

5. Marvel at the author's brilliant ingenuity or boneheaded stupidity, sometimes both. Ditto for the new language's syntax.

6. Update, bugfix, refactor, recompile.

7. Huh. That's like XYZ, but better.

8. File and forget
