When you open VS Code there is a welcome screen. On the left side of the screen you open/create a program filename to work on. Note the BLUE vertical line separating the narrow left window from the larger right window where you do your program editing. Toward the bottom of that window you'll see another BLUE horizontal line. Below that BLUE line click on the "Terminal" and to the right of that you'll see the word "1: powershell" and below those you'll see the intro to Windows Powershell and a command line prompt. cd to the directory where the file you are working on is located.
Thereafter, as you go along writing your program in the upper window, you can drop down into the lower command line window periodically and you can type 'go build yourfilename.go' and the go compiler will attempt to compile your program, showing you any errors it hits along the way. If it doesn't hit any errors, the command line will return. If it shows errors, return to the upper window and fix them (the errors will usually show the line number that had the error). Open a Windows command window elsewhere (on another monitor), cd to the same directory you are in in the VS Code lower window and execute the command, observing the output. Go back-and-forth between the VS Code IDE and the command window to change your program to get the results you want. Go on and accomplish great things! I have no computer science background, am not particularly smart, am a noob to Go and am able to write a complex web server application with Go that does exactly what I want. You can, too. Persistence! There are lots of free, .pdf books online that teach you Go programming.
