An Introduction to the Go Programming Language

An overview of the Go Programming Language version 1.0 (released March 28th
2012). We will cover the basics of the language, how it differs from the
other choices, and why you would want to use it to write server side
software. The emphasis will be on what makes Go unique like built in
concurrency and communicating sequential processes. We will start off with
a general description and proceed to the level of how go routines work
under the covers.
