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.
