October Gophers @ Dojo!
Details
Hello London Gophers! 👋
Welcome to the description page of another amazing Go event! Are you ready for the biggest Go event this side of the Thames?
To check out some new roles in Robotics, Full Stack, DevOps, Networking and Site Reliability, take a look at Dexory (https://www.dexory.com/join-us), our new sponsor! 🤖
==== 📓 AGENDA 📓 =====
6:30 - 7:00pm: Arrival, Food & Refreshments
7:00pm: Talks Start
🗣️ Daniela Petruzalek - Who Tests The Tests?
Testing is a cornerstone of modern software engineering: whether you write tests before or after coding , no serious workplace should tolerate code without tests. But how can we ensure that we are writing good tests? Are we really testing the code or just producing fake test coverage? To answer this question, we are going to explore the concept of mutation tests and how they can be used to validate the tests that we write. In this talk you will learn what a mutation test is and one possible implementation in Go with the help of the AST package and a bit of compiler magic.
🗣️ Dawid Lachowicz - Const generics in Go - contributing to the language
Dawid will share his journey of implementing a feature (const generics) into the Go language - from the design phase (including formalisations), to the proposal and the compiler implementation. Dawid would love to share what goes on behind the curtains when a new language feature is added.
~8:30 - 9:00pm: Closing and Head to the Pub
