The workshop
This month Lewis Marshall will be doing a workshop which aims to provide a gentle introduction to Go by walking through the implementation of a simple web application written in Go.
You should bring your laptops with you and follow along by writing and running Go on your machine.
Before arriving
Please charge your laptops before arriving as we cannot guarantee plug sockets for all.
It would be useful to have Go installed on your laptops beforehand to save time and avoid any issues downloading Go on the venue’s WiFi.
To install Go, follow the relevant guide for your operating system:
You should now be able to run “go version” and see the version of Go you have installed.
