About the talk:
Go is a statically compiled systems programming language aimed at C/C++ developers which draws its inspiration from the low-ceremony of popular dynamic languages. It is very easy to learn and particularly well-suited to implementing concurrency.
Talk Objectives:
In this session we'll learn the basic syntax and semantics of the language by examining the flexible for{} construct, starting with the most basic C-like forms and building through type assertion, closures, channels and reflection to demonstrate the basics of generalised iteration. Testing and benchmarking will also be covered, imparting sufficient knowledge to begin using the language for practical development.
Target Audience:
This talk is suitable for moderately experienced developers and does not require any familiarity with Go.
