The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more
|
|
productive.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency
|
|
mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore
|
|
and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and
|
|
modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the
|
|
convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a
|
|
fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed,
|
|
interpreted language.

|
|
<p>
|
|
An interactive introduction to Go in three sections.
|
|
The first section covers basic syntax and data structures; the second discusses
|
|
methods and interfaces; and the third introduces Go's concurrency primitives.
|
|
Each section concludes with a few exercises so you can practice what you've
|
|
learned. You can <a href="http://tour.golang.org/">take the tour online</a> or
|
|
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/go-tour/">install it locally</a>.

The talks marked with a red asterisk (<font color="red">*</font>) were written

before Go 1 and contain some examples that are no longer correct, but they are

still of value.

Three things that make Go fast, fun, and productive:
|
|
interfaces, reflection, and concurrency. Builds a toy web crawler to

demonstrate these.

<h3 id="go_concurrency_patterns"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6kdp27TYZs">Go Concurrency Patterns</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Concurrency is the key to designing high performance network services. Go's concurrency primitives (goroutines and channels) provide a simple and efficient means of expressing concurrent execution. In this talk we see how tricky concurrency problems can be solved gracefully with simple Go code.

<p>
|
|
A presentation delivered by Rob Pike and Russ Cox at Google I/O 2010. It
|
|
illustrates how programming in Go differs from other languages through a set of
|
|
examples demonstrating features particular to Go. These include concurrency,
|
|
embedded types, methods on any type, and program construction using interfaces.
