5. O HAI! I CAN HAS A GO?
6. What is Go •  New-ish programming language developed at Google (and used there) •  Targeted for high performance servers •  Focuses on easing the life of the developer •  Addresses real pains - mainly from C++ •  Object-Oriented-ish •  Statically Compiled •  Garbage Collected •  Strictly Typed •  Concurrency Oriented
7. Reason 1: The syntax Simple, Quick learning curve, little code to write.
8. Reason 2: Compiler Speed The whole SDK and compiler compiled in 19 seconds. Why? The language is very small.
9. Reason 3: Execution Speed •  Go is FAST •  Slower usually than C++ More or less on par with Java •  about x10 to x100 faster than Python/Ruby
10. Reason 4: The Ecosystem Compliant with Github / Google Code, Bitbucket Friendly, useful community
11. Reason 5: Concurrency •  Goroutines and Channels are the heart of Go •  Goroutines are microthreads with an internal scheduler •  You can run 10Ks of goroutines easily
12. Reason 6: The standard library •  Excellent, rich standard library •  More like Python's than C++'s •  Very well documented
13. Before we get too excited •  Lack of complete, real IDE
14. Before we get too excited Look at flutterwave .. Create endless opportunities
15. A Few Good Resources •  The official website: http://golang.org/ •  Excellent introductory book: http://www.golang-book.com/ •  GoDoc: Package search http://godoc.org/
