Description:
Go is a general purpose programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. Go is open source and free to download. This talk is about the story of a developer who starts to learn Go by using it to write a large program. Topics will include:

• why should be we learn Go?
• what kind of software can be written in Go ?
• a few of the language features
• writing modular Go code and testing
• dependency management
• building and deploying
• how to start and what tool/IDE to use

I want to generate some interest that will help make the Go language part of a developer’s tool belt and some tips that will help the audience get started with the Go programming language.
