< Webdev seemed so easy, but now it seems so hard...
Sure thing. I caught it on sale (so it was about half that), but probably wouldn't have jumped at that price, either. You can get some samples of the course if you sign up for his newsletter (which I've actually found pretty good, as it's typically been nothing more than a daily tip or discussion of a specific feature of Go). These may help jump-start you enough that you can use other resources going forward. It'll also include at least part of the book, so you can see if that's at all worth it.
