Join us for an introduction to Google's popular programming language Go.

This workshop will walk you through the basics of Go; what it is, what you can do with it, how the syntax is, what's in the standard library.

We will also dive a little deeper into some concepts where Go differs from the rest of the crowd and finally we'll finish with some hands on tutorials where you can try out Go for yourself.

This tutorial is held by Go expert and senior developer Ricco Førgaard from Apparat. He currently works as a DevOps- and Go developer at TV 2.
