March Study Night
Details
---- This event is only for those who identify as women and gender minorities! Thank you! ----
Hi everyone,
Let's get together to socialize and write some Go!
This is a BYOD (bring your own device) event. If you don't have a laptop please email hello@womenwhogo.co.uk so we can provide you with one.
To speed up things make sure you have Go installed, instructions can be found here (https://github.com/WWGLondon/installfest).
We will be doing exercises from Martin's Czygan (@cvvfj (https://twitter.com/cvvfj)) awesome IO module (https://github.com/miku/exploreio). The aim of these exercises are to learn two important interfaces of the standard library in action: io.Reader and io.Writer. (https://golang.org/pkg/io/)
There are numerous implementations of these interfaces.
Martin is a developer at Liepzig University Library who has been working on search solutions (https://finc.info/de/) for libraries in Go.
