This Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) talk on Google Go will be presented by Case Talbot, developer, Smashwords. Go is a programming language created in 2006 by Google. While originally envisioned as a modern alternative to static languages such as C++ and Java, it has found a steady following in refugees from dynamic languages such as Ruby and Python due to its simple, consistent, and performant design. The talk will cover some of the basic concepts of Go, such as build structure, error handling, tag annotation, and the power of interfaces while making a simple web application. LUGOD meets at the Davis Library.
