A Tour of Go

Welcome to a tour of the Go programming language. The tour covers the most important features of the language, mainly:

• Welcome! Learn how to use this tour: including how to navigate the different lessons and how to run code.
• Packages, variables, and functions. Learn the basic components of any Go program.
• Flow control statements: for, if, else, switch and defer. Learn how to control the flow of your code with conditionals, loops, switches and defers.
• More types: structs, slices, and maps. Learn how to define types based on existing ones: this lesson covers structs, arrays, slices, and maps.
• Methods and interfaces. This lesson covers methods and interfaces, the constructs that define objects and their behavior.
• Generics. Go supports generic programming using type parameters. This lesson shows some examples for employing generics in your code.
• Concurrency. Go provides concurrency constructions as part of the core language. This lesson presents them and gives some examples on how they can be used.
