Introduction to the Go language - Bob Hancock
Bring you laptops so you can follow a along and try an example
program. If you don't know what Go is, see
golang.org. If you have
programmed in C, C++, Java, Python, or Javascript you already have a
good foundation for learning Go.
The Go programming language is an open source project to make
programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and
efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs
that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its
novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction.
Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage
collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast,
statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically
typed, interpreted language.
You won't want to miss this, because we are working on having Andrew
Gerrand, the Google Developer Advocate for Go, at a meeting in
February for an in depth presentation.
