|
The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more
|
|
productive.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.

<h3 id="go_tour"><a href="//tour.golang.org/">A Tour of Go</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
An interactive introduction to Go in three sections.
|
|
The first section covers basic syntax and data structures; the second discusses
|
|
methods and interfaces; and the third introduces Go's concurrency primitives.
|
|
Each section concludes with a few exercises so you can practice what you've
|
|
learned. You can <a href="//tour.golang.org/">take the tour online</a> or
|
|
<a href="//code.google.com/p/go-tour/">install it locally</a>.

interfaces, reflection, and concurrency. Builds a toy web crawler to

<h3 id="go_code_that_grows"><a href="//vimeo.com/53221560">Code that grows with grace</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
One of Go's key design goals is code adaptability; that it should be easy to take a simple design and build upon it in a clean and natural way. In this talk Andrew Gerrand describes a simple "chat roulette" server that matches pairs of incoming TCP connections, and then use Go's concurrency mechanisms, interfaces, and standard library to extend it with a web interface and other features. While the function of the program changes dramatically, Go's flexibility preserves the original design as it grows.

<h3 id="go_concurrency_patterns"><a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6kdp27TYZs">Go Concurrency Patterns</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Concurrency is the key to designing high performance network services. Go's concurrency primitives (goroutines and channels) provide a simple and efficient means of expressing concurrent execution. In this talk we see how tricky concurrency problems can be solved gracefully with simple Go code.
