Virtual Introduction to Go
Wed, 7th April | 18:30 - 20:30 BST (GMT+01:00)

Get a feel for Go! In collaboration with: Women Who Go

Go is an open-source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. In this workshop, we will give a short Introduction to Go presentation, followed by break-off sessions with a coach where you'll complete a practical task. Our aim is to help you get started with Go by pairing you with a coach that will be able to remotely assist and guide you through what you want to learn.

We'll provide material to have a go with the basics in Go and your coach will be on hand to help you make the most of the session.

If you'd like to cover another project, feel free to ask. It needs to be in Go for this session and as always we can't help you with professional or academic projects.

This workshop is fully remote and will happen in our Discord server, which we will send details to join on the morning of the event. If you have any questions please drop us an email hello@codebar.io.
