In this, my sixth and probably final article on the Go programming language, I’m running through some smaller features which I didn’t go into detail on in earlier articles. We’ll look at extending and copying slices in more detail, type assertions, error handling, common string manipulations, basic file I/O, embedding files in binaries, and context objects.
This is the 6th of the 6 articles that currently make up the “All Go” series, the first of which was All Go: Basic Semantics.

In this, my fifth article on the Go programming language, I’m looking at the build and packaging process, and other tooling. I’ll start by looking at how code is structured into packages, and then look at the tools for building, packaging and testing.

In this, my fourth article on the Go programming language, I’m going to tackle the topic of concurrency. This concept of goroutines is one of the languages main selling points, so I’ll be interested to see how they work. We’ll also look at channels, which are used to communicate between goroutines.

Having looked at the basic semantics of Go in the previous article, I’m continuing my exploration by looking at Go’s facilities for object orientation. This looks at structures and embedding in more detail, as well as methods and interfaces.

Having written a lot of articles about Python and Rust, I thought it was about time I took a look at another popular modern language, Go. In this article I’m kicking off by looking at the basic syntax and semantics as a foundation for looking at the more advanced features in future articles.
This is the 1st of the 6 articles that currently make up the “All Go” series.
