Understanding Go: part 2 – Constant

Publish Date: Feb 20 '24

Even if you can create your first application in Go in a few minutes, understanding a new programming language is not easy and can be time-consuming.

After writing the blog series Learning Go by examples, let's discover all the concepts of Go in a visual way, in sketchnotes.

In this second blog post of sketchnotes about Go, let's discover another useful concept: Constant.

This is the second blog post of this serie so if you liked it, you can follow me, and tell me what do you think ❤️. If people are interested, I will publish others sketches shortly :-).

Moreover, if you are interested about this way to explain visually technologies, I published an entire illustrated book about Kubernetes, available in paperback on Amazon and in digital version on GumRoad: "Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way".
And an illustrated book about Docker, available in paperback on Amazon and in digital version on GumRoad: "Understanding Docker in a visual way".

    Well addressed, consts are important enough. The use of drawings is very distracting though. Sometimes confusing (use of backtick for opening quote e.g.) even. Lack of contrast and too small letters on small screens is another issue. Again, good content, and relevant as well. Hard to read though.

      Thanks
      For me constants are as well important as variables, that's why i am explaining them first.

      Where do use think I am using backticks? Is it my double quote style?

      About the small letters and lack of contrasts, if you have particular examples to show to me and an idea of improvements it will be nice.
      Thanks :)

        Showing both lack of contrast and backticks in double and single quotes.

        Again, you are addressing an important topic in a good way, complete and correct. The use of images and stylistic transformations do more bad than good.

          I updated the illustrations of a constant to change the color of the text, the color of the background and to change my way to write double and single quote.
          Is it better?
          No more troubles?

              If now it's no longer a problem and reading is enjoyable, it's the most important :)
