๐Ÿ—ฃ Apu Chitnis - How to write a HTTP server from scratch in Go

In this talk, Apu will demystify some of the magic that surrounds networking by creating a HTTP server from scratch in Go. You'll learn some networking fundamentals, visit the highlights of the HTTP spec, and leave with an appreciation of Go's excellent net/http package.

๐Ÿ—ฃ โšก๏ธPaul Jolly - gopls + vim = govim

Want all the nice features of VSCode but in Vim8? gopls is the new Go language server that drives VSCode and Atom. In this talk we look at a new Vim8 plugin that is also backed by gopls. https://github.com/myitcv/govim

๐Ÿ—ฃ Matt Heath - Contexts in Context

The context type allows deadlines, cancelation signals, and other request-scoped values, to propagate through request chains and across API boundaries, but in practice how can these features be used? In this talk Matt will talk about how Monzo use the humble context to power a variety of features in their Go based microservice platform.
