Location

Google
76 Ninth Ave
New York, NY 10011
(We will announce which entrance to use just before the event.)

What is Go?

Go is a new, experimental, concurrent, garbage-collected programming language developed at Google over the last two years and open sourced in November 2009. It aims to combine the speed and safety of a statically-typed compiled language with the flexibility and agility of a dynamic language like Python or JavaScript. It is intended to serve as a convenient, lightweight, fast language, especially for writing concurrent systems such as Web servers and distributed systems.

What will we do?
This tutorial is a fast-paced tour of Go. There's no way we could cover everything about Go in six hours, and we're not even going to try. Instead, we'll cover a few basics and then start writing real programs that do interesting things.

The tutorial is structured as four 60-minute sessions. The sessions are hands-on, with at least 45 minutes of coding in each. There are a series of exercises in each session, more than you'll have time to do. The first few convey the most important lessons; the rest venture into more advanced territory. 

The Schedule

9:00 Doors open
9:15 Session 1
10:45 Session 2
12:15 Lunch
12:45 Session 3
2:15 Session 4
3:45 Clean up and off to the pub


What are the prerequisites?

You must be able to write code. This is an introduction to Go, not to programming in general.

You must have a laptop with the Go compiler and associated tools installed. Currently the supported operating systems are OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD. Support for Windows is underway, but still incomplete. If there's interest, I will make a Linux virtual machine image available so that Windows users can join the fun.

To install Go, see the installation instructions.

What should I bring?

Yourself, a laptop (don't forget the power cable), and anything else you think you might need.

What will be provided?

Lunch and snacks. Drinks will be available throughout the day.

There may also be some Go goodies for good gophers. :-)
