Miriah Peterson Data Engineer @ Weave Go as a language is infamously not friendly to new developers. This is funny to me because I consider it my “first” language. This talk explores how to use go to teach first time developers basic programing topics, how to set up a dev environment, how to write a program and basic coding practices. Intro I believe the simplicity and cleanliness of the Go programming Language makes it suitable as a language for first time programmers. However, things like a GoPath, Dependencies, binaries, CLIs, IDEs, and Git make it hard for someone who has never coded before to just pick up go in their free time. This tutorial is written for people who have less that one year programming experience or even no experience whatsoever. It is to help them learn go and master their tools as well. I do not have experience in education theory, but from personal experience this course is curated in an order to help them learn go as well as all the scary stuff. In this talk we will go over the sections and tools used to help first time devs Master go. Open Source Learning As experience devs we can learn most things online and for free. Blog posts, tutorials, demos, meetups, etc. these all contribute to our learning via Open Source. But what about first time devs? we require them to take university courses or bootcamps? They have to pay thousands of dollars just to start off using tools and tech that are not top of the line? The idea behind this tutorial it to replicate the opensource blog posts and tutorials, but to make it for beginners. And to make it truely opensource anyone can contribute to it, I am just waiting for someone to make a pr and finish it for me cough cough (that is only half a joke). Hopefully it becomes something that can get people off the ground and ready to tackle projects either on their own or in a workplace setting. — 0:00 Intro 0:25 Talk More Timestamps to come — 🥇 Gold Sponsors Mattermost Teleport 🥈 Silver Sponsors Envato Last9.io Magic RestorePoint 🤝 Media Partners AWS Infosec Conferences Inside Dev Manning Packt — Website 🚀🪐 https://www.conf42.com​ Reach Out 📧📭 mark@conf42.com Discord Server 🧑‍🤝‍🧑💬 https://discord.com/invite/dT6ZsFJ5ZM​ LinkedIn 👨‍💼💼 https://www.linkedin.com/company/4911...​ Twitter 🎵🐦https://twitter.com/conf42com​ Conf42Cast 🎧 http://www.conf42.com/podcast
