Welcome and thank you for coming here! At the end of this workshop you will understand reasons behind Go's popularity. We will walk you through the language's syntax and idioms, so that you can start using the language quickly end effectively. Let's begin by installing the compiler and tools.
On rpm systems:
sudo yum install golang
$ mkdir -p $HOME/go
$ echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' >> $HOME/.bashrc
$ source $HOME/.bashrc
On deb systems: github.com/golang manual
golang.org manual
Before we start everyone should be able to get the source code and run it:
(all .go files in the repository are for simplicity in the main package and
they all have main() function, so that you can easily run them with go run)
go get github.com/alexxa/go_workshop
go run 01_hello_world.go
Use go's test command to execute the tests in labs/lab*:
go test ./labs/lab1
