What will happen in your session?

I will be walking through the basic concepts of Golang. Golang is a well thought out modern open source anguage that utilises many of the best practices of programming languages created before it. In a way, if you know Golang then you know how to build programs that touch the root of this field.

Session Outline:

• Introduction :5min
• Why was Go needed? :5min
• Target Audience :5min
• Go’s strengths :13min
• Go’s weaknesses :10min

• How to get started :10min
• Who is using Go: 5min
• Q&A :2min

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

• Each and every participant will get an insight of Golang.
