A DIY Dashboard with Grafana
If your code creates some stats to monitor, Grafana and the Grada package may come in handy.
Go slices are not dynamic arrays
Go's slices are cleverly designed. They provide the look-and-feel of truly dynamic arrays while being optimized for performance. However, not being aware of the slice mechanisms can bring you into trouble.
goman - the missing man pages for Go binaries
Most Go binaries come without any man page. The tool goman
fills this gap. If the corresponding project includes a decent README file (and most projects do), goman
find this README file and displays it on the terminal.
Controlling a Digispark board
The Digispark is perhaps as small as a microcontroller board for DIY electronics can get. This is a short writedown about my first experiences with controlling this board through Go code, using Gobot and LittleWire.
Big Oh!
You worked hard to save a few CPU cycles in the central loop, but your code is still slow? Time to think about the time complexity of your algorithm.
Text-Based User Interfaces
Want to equip your command-line application with a nice visual user interface? TUI libraries are here to help.
Flow To Go
If you want to do Flow-Based Programming in Go, there are a couple of frameworks and libraries available. Or you simply do it with pure Go. After all, how difficult can it be?
Get into the flow
In Flow-Based Programming, programs are modeled as data flowing between independent processing units. Who would not think of channels and goroutines as a natural analogy?
TCP/IP Networking
Connecting two processes at TCP/IP level might seem scary at first, but in Go it is easier than one might think.
Picturesque!
Let's face it: Pictures taken with a smartphone usually aren't quite like Ansel Adams masterpieces. But with a little post-processing, some of them might still reveal their true beauty. A couple of Go libraries can help.
