Getting Started with Go

The Basics

Go/Installing - installing Go

Go/Basics - getting started with Go

Hello World

Ah, yes, the quintessential Go/Hello World program.

Command Line Tools

To build a command line tool, you'll set up a directory structure like cmd/.

The command line interface should be defined in a file that uses a library like one of the following:

• go-flags: https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags
• cobra: https://github.com/spf13/cobra

Vim and Go

See Go/Vim Solarized for a guide to setting up a vimrc file that will let you code in Go with nice syntax highlighting using the solarized color scheme.
