Reading Club: Effective Go - Part II

For this reading club, we'll be continuing with Google's Effective Go, a foundational resource for Go developers to learn how to write clear and idiomatic Go code. Google published this guide when Go was originally released to augment the Go language spec and their Tour of Go interactive tutorial. Effective Go is frequently cited as required reading for using and understanding Go. Nobody wants to be the person who never quite understood something like slices.

We tackled the first four sections in our previous reading club. This time will be discussing the Data and Initialization sections. Effective Go is available alongside all of Go's official documentation, free of charge.
