"Go (often referred to as golang) is an open source programming language created by google in 2007. It is a compiled, statically typed language in the tradition of Algol and C, with garbage collection, limited structural typing, memory safety features and CSP style concurrent programming features added." - Wikipedia
In his talk, Andrew will give an intro to Go, and he will show us how Go is used on some hands on programming.
