Workshop: Go Tooling in Action

Location:

Level: 
Intermediate
9:00am - 4:00pm

Date:

Fri, 30 Jun

Prerequisites

  • Participants should have Go 1.8 installed on their environment and VSCode.
  • Any other editor in this list is accepted, but VSCode is the one the instruction will assume.

In this workshop, you'll get to use the tools that make Go a great programming language to use. You will get to use a series of tools, from the well known "go" tool to the less known tools that will allow you to profile, debug, and understand the performance of your programs.

We will also use Visual Studio Code as a Go editor, and see how many tools make the coding experience amazing. You are of course welcome to use any other editor, as nowadays most provide great integrations with Go tooling.

You need to have only basic knowledge of Go to follow this workshop. Most code is easy to read, and we will be actually concentrating on how the tools work, rather than writing code. For a taste of what this workshop will cover, you can watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uBjoTxosSys

Target Audience:

Developers with experience in some compiled programming language. Not necessarily Go, but knowing Go will help.

Method of Instruction:

Hands-on exercises + lecture
