Intro to the Go Language

Taught by the author of Head First Go, this session will give you an idea of what Go's about. We'll show you basic program syntax, including time-savers like short variable declarations and "for ... range" loops. We'll show you cool Go features like first-class functions (pass functions as data!), interfaces (duck typing at compile time!), method promotion (OOP without class inheritance!), and goroutines and channels (concurrency made easy!). When we're done, you'll understand what Go offers and how it can help you on your next project!
