Go Workshop
Details
This code lab demonstrates network programming with Go.
The final goal is to build a "whispernet": a peer to peer mesh network for transmitting text messages.
Pre-requisites (https://talks.godoc.org/github.com/campoy/whispering-gophers/talk.slide#4):
You must have these tools installed and working:
- Go (see golang.org/doc/install) [https://www.ardanlabs.com/blog/2016/05/installing-go-and-your-workspace.html]
- git (see git-scm.com/downloads)
This is not an introduction to the Go Programming Language;
some experience writing Go code is required. To learn Go:
- Take A Tour of Go
- Check out the Go documentation
Create a workspace (see golang.org/doc/code.html) and install the support libraries:
Creating a workspace: (https://talks.godoc.org/github.com/campoy/whispering-gophers/talk.slide#5)
To write Go code you need a workspace. Create one now if you have not already.
$ mkdir $HOME/gocode
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/gocode # or add this to ~/.profile
Build and install a hello example program:
$ go get github.com/campoy/whispering-gophers/hello
This installs the hello binary to $GOPATH/bin.
Check that this worked:
$ $GOPATH/bin/hello
It works!
If you have problems with setup please reach us before the workshop
