Golang Programming Session (Core Data Types)

TITLE
Golang Programming Sessions

MOTIVATION
The Google programming language (Go) is used in DevOps projects and implement tools and utilities of interest. Gitea, Moby, Docker, Nomad, Traefix etc and many DevSecOps tools like cfssl.

GOAL
We are organizing 24 Golang Programming sessions that span almost two months (starting from, Wednesday 2022-03-16 till the end of April).

The goal is to explore, learn and understand

• Go lang core constructs
• data types, aggregate types
• features and capabilities
• Debugging Go programs.
• coverage of almost all packages
• concurrency and goroutine bugs
• network programming
• systems programming
• Go lang modules, workspace etc.
• Versioning and Refactoring approaches.
• creating plugins and libraries.
• Functional programming models.
• services implementation like RPC.
• Database driver implementation for PostgreSQL
• AST generation and manipulation in a Go program to generate modern C++20/23 code.

A slightly longer goal is to cover ALL the Go lang projects that are listed in Appendix B, D and F of the census II report published by Linux foundation. The best way to show respect to a 'corporate' technology is to first master it and then create a alternative and superior 'community-centric' free software solution and frameworks.

GO VERSION
In the first session, we compiled Go lang from the Git repo. We will use 1.19 (git) to do all the coding. If something breaks we consider that as useful, since we will learn more.

PLATFORM
All the hands-on exercise will be performed on GNU/Linux systems eg. ArchLinux, Debian, Gentoo etc. and will be on x86_64 AMD64 architecture.

So, if you plan to attend make sure that you install GNU/Linux. If you face any problem, please comment on meetup page or write to foss@strikr.io mailing list.

DELIVERY
The session will be in ENGLISH. Great opportunity to engage, interact, learn, contribute and have fun.

JITSI
We use free software Jitsi for audio, video and screen-sharing during the online sessions.
