➤➤ Talks ➤➤
Title: Building Better CLIs
Speaker: Mark Bates
Description: In this talk we'll take a look at how to build better command line applications in Go. We'll talk about how to structure your code to make it more testable, concise, and modular. We'll look at how to avoid globals such as the file system, environment variables, and I/O using simple interfaces and types. Finally, we will do all of this with only the standard library, and no external dependencies! (Though you are certainly welcome to use them if you want.)
