2. About Me • Naoki Sega (Twitter/GitHub: @nsega ) • Tech Lead, Backend Team in Mercari JP / Catalog Team • Joined Mercari JP in November 2018. • Go : About 1 year experience in coding as the Production Code. • Community : Kubernetes Meetup, Cloud Native Meetup, … etc • My current interests: Go, GCP, Kubernetes, Microservices, CNCF Products.
3. Agenda
4. Agenda • My background • My approach to learn Go • The introduction of my 4 Tips • Conclusion
5. My background
6. My background • PHP, Java (Spring, Spring MVC, Spring Boot, ..etc) • Experience developing and operating in large-scale service • Experience with AWS, Sakura(cloud services) and On-premises • More than 10 years experience in Backend/Infra Engineer
7. My approach to learn Go
8. INPUT OUTPUT PROCESS My Learning Flow - Overview Phase 1 Getting Started Phase 2 More practical Phase 3 practice, .. and practice through GitHub Issues/PRs Community, Social Media Code Code, Doc Code, Doc Code, Doc
9. INPUT Phase 1 : Getting started • The Go Programming Language ◦ Documentation https://golang.org/doc/ ◦ A Tour of Go https://tour.golang.org/list ◦ The Go Programming Language Specification https://golang.org/ref/spec ◦ Packages https://golang.org/pkg/ My approach to learn Go (1/4)
10. INPUT Phase 2 : More practical • Effective Go https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html • CodeReviewComments https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments • Goに入ってはGoに従え https://ukai-go-talks.appspot.com/2014/gocon.slide • Go at Google: Language Design in the Service of Software Engineering https://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.article • Uber Go Style Guide https://github.com/uber-go/guide/blob/master/style.md My approach to learn Go (2/4)
11. My approach to learn Go (3/4) INPUT Phase 3: practice, practice and practice • Practical Go: Real world advice for writing maintainable Go programs https://dave.cheney.net/practical-go/presentations/qcon-china.html • High Performance Go Workshop https://dave.cheney.net/high-performance-go-workshop/sydney-2019.html • Looking for Issues/PRs and Reading Code ◦ in OSS ( Kubernetes, Docker, go and etc) • Attending a study session/Go community ◦ In my case, GoFriday, mercari.go
12. INPUT Optional (To catch up on latest information timely) • The Go Blog • go.dev, pkg.go.dev, learn.go.dev • Go community ◦ The Go Project https://golang.org/project/ ◦ Gophers (gophers.slack.com) FYI: to join gophers.slack.com ◦ golang.tokyo　　, Go Conference , mercari.go and etc in Japan. • reddit - r/golang • Twitter Golang Weekly(@golangweekly), Go News(@golangnews), Go Time(@GoTimeFM) My approach to learn Go (4/4)

14. Tips
15. Tips 1 : Let’s use the go tool Go tool • Many useful tools prepared in cmd package. • e.g. go vet, go generate, go build, ...etc • I frequently used go tool :) https://golang.org/cmd/go/ https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd
16. Tips 2 : Use the Lint tools: reviewdog https://github.com/reviewdog/reviewdog https://link.medium.com/n9WDCXP3lV
17. Tips 2 : Let’s use the Lint tools: reviewdog • govet golang.org/cmd/vet/ • golint github.com/golang/lint • misspell github.com/client9/misspell • errcheck github.com/kisielk/errcheck • staticcheck staticcheck.io/docs/staticcheck https://github.com/reviewdog/reviewdog
18. Tips 3 : Let’s use IDE and editor support plugin • gofmt • goimports • Lookup Godoc • Code completion/Code navigation • Debugger FYI: My recommendation: GoLand “GoLand is an IDE by JetBrains aimed at providing an ergonomic environment for Go development.” GoLand 2019.3: Faster Than Ever Before with Improved Go Modules Support, New Quick-fixes, and Much More
19. The Go Playground play.golang.org • You can build and run the programs easily on the Go Playground. • e.g. Data Structures(Arrays, Slices, Maps), Concurrency Tips 4 : Let’s use the Go Playground
20. Conclusion
21. Conclusion • Implementing INPUT => PROCESS => OUTPUT cycle repeatedly. • Reflecting my output and others feedback constantly. • Designing simply, Coding simply. • Contributing to OSS, community. • Practice, practice, and practice.
