Project 52 is a 52-week challenge to complete 52 Go projects. It was started by Evan Lin to become more familiar with Go through building projects. Some of the projects completed include a machine translator, Facebook pages scraper, and Instagram scraper. The experience of Project 52 helped Lin read more code, use interesting Go packages, and inspired him to start 14 additional Go projects after completing the initial 52.
