Description:

We'll cover 3 things in this presentation:

1. The Philosophy of Go (i.e. "How to Think in Go", "Effective Go", "The Go Proverbs")
This is how you know A) if Go is for you and B) how to approach problems.
2. The Language (i.e. "Tour of Go", "Go by Example", "YourBasic Go")
Be productive by the end of a weekend, and love it for a lifetime.
3. The Tools that make the Language (go fmt, go run, go generate, go build, go test, etc)
Because the types were always in the tooling, and the tooling is good.
