Notes from reading Practical Go

Notes of the key points copied/summarised from Dave Cheney's Practical Go for more concise reading/reference.

These are terse notes only; I'm not providing my own commentary, opinion

How To Speak by Prof. Patrick Winston

MIT 2018 talk

How to start

• Suggests not starting with a joke.
  • Audience isn't necessarily attuned to your mode of speaking.
• Start with an empowerment promise; what will the audience get from the talk.
