Mark Smith (Teamwork) - So you've written your first Go program and feel pretty good about yourself. Now you've been asked to build an API for your organisation and the first question that comes to mind is, "how should I layout my project?".

This talk aims to offer an answer to that question with an example application template that you can use making your API:
maintainable
testable
scalable

Patrick Walker (Teamwork) - What is Fuzz testing? Not sure maybe we'll know by the end of the meetup

Lightning Talks Now Open - if interested let message the organizers :)
