It's been 4 years I use Ruby for server side, now I want to learn Golang, and this is my notes, based on Build web application with Golang book

Always work from $GOPATH

so change directory and create project directory there

cd $GOPATH

mkdir project

Cheatsheet

go clean is for cleaning files that are generated by compilers

go fmt

format the code

go get

go get is a command to get remote packages, from github, etc

go install

go install this command compiles all package and generates files, then moves them to $GOPATH/pkg or $GOPATH/bin
