Abstract
Pondering learning a new programming language, or perhaps considering programming for the first time? Go might be the go! This relatively modern language (2009), designed at Google, does many interesting things in a very modern and compact way.
In this talk, we’ll look at how Go works, and how to start doing something of interest:
- How are programs organised, how do we tell the computer what we want to do?
- Setting things up…
- Doing some fun and useful stuff!
- Trying things, seeing some ideas not work, adapting, trying again. Success!
Your take-away will be, hopefully, new insight in how programming works, and how to put your new skills to good use.
