Dan Worth: Go for Pythonistas
Date: Monday, May 13th @ 7pm
Dan (@djworth) is a long time Python developer who is falling in love with Go. Dan currently works as a Python developer at DramaFever.This talk is designed to be an introduction to the Go programming language (http://golang.org) from a Python programmer's perspective.
Some of the things we'll cover are listed below in no particular order:
* What you need to develop Go programs
* Installing and using packages
* Compiling Go programs
* Common Data Structures (and their Python equivalents)
* Go program structure
* Unit Testing
* Deployment
* Common gotchas going from Python to Go
With all of the items listed above I will do my best to compare them to Python.
