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.
MapReduce - munching through Big Data
How Google tackled the problem of processing enormous amounts of data, and how you can do the same with Go.
