build a go lib and binary


  1. installing go
    1. OS X: brew install go
    2. Linux: https://github.com/dcoxall/vagrant-golang ?
  3. organizing your code
    1. GOPATH  export GOPATH=/Users/jandre/godemo
    2. WORKSPACE https://golang.org/doc/code.html
    3. vim go  (https://github.com/fatih/vim-go)
    4. :GoInstallBinaries
  5. code 
    1. create a lib (exporting functions)
      1. package naming
      2. exporting functions
      3. how to build (go build) 
    3. create a binary that consumes lib
      1. demo how goimports auto imports stuff from stdlib
      2. package = main
    5. create a tests (go test)
    6. goroutines (NOT COVERED)
    7. documentation
      1. Use full sentences (e.g. https://github.com/tools/godep/blob/master/main.go#L13-L33)
      2. godoc.org: e.g. http://godoc.org/github.com/jandre/procfs
    9. importing other libraries (use debug example) and go get
    10. structs, objects
    11. pointers?
    11. reflection?
    12. managing dependencies (https://github.com/tools/godep)
    1. how you want to organize things?  e.g. using a makefile (to set GOPATH, setup deps, etc)
  7. references!
    1. http://www.golang-book.com/
    2. https://gist.github.com/jandre/8216047
    
  8. code examples
    1. web stuff - gogs.io https://github.com/gogits/gogs
    2.  simple project to learn from:  https://github.com/sourcegraph/go-papertrail/
