Talk 1: The easiest way to develop with Go

I'll be demoing a docker + Go pairing, based on Travis Reeder's (http://www.iron.io/blog/2015/08/the-easiest-way-to-develop-with-go%E2%80%8A-%E2%80%8Aintroducing-a-docker-based-go-tool.html) recent article on the iron.io (http://iron.io/) blog. It's portable Go. No need for GOPATHs or any of that other nonsense. Just pull in your dependencies, and you're off to the races. The best part is the base image is only about ~12MB.

About the speaker

I'm Paul. I like solving puzzles (with code), hiking, and brewing beer. My Tech background comes from the world of QA, where I wrote loads of SQL scripts and Ruby.

Talk 2: Compile Time Code Weaving with Go

GoWeave is an attempt to resurrect Aspect Oriented Programming to bring industrial strength compile-time code modification to existing codebases enabling a wealth of new functionality allowing developers to develop faster and debug in a cleaner manner among other things. Go being a highly opinionated language coupled with the fact that it is statically typed presents a unique opportunity to explore applying ad-hoc behavior to existing codebases.

About the speaker

Ian Eyberg is the founder of DeferPanic - the enterprise ready production choice for companies using the Go programming language. When he's not coding or talking to fellow gophers you can catch him drinking beer while curating his coffee table whitepaper collection.

About the Host

Turnitin (http://www.turnitin.com/)is an education technology company that is revolutionizing the written learning experience for teachers and students.

We work to enhance the entire life cycle of written work such that submission, feedback, revision, and grading all happen in a seamless fashion.
This lightens the overhead on teachers, enabling them to focus on giving students faster, more detailed feedback.

Go has played a key role for us as several of our key back-end components have been improved upon or entirely rewritten using it. It has enabled us to rally around cleaner code and deliver better products faster.
