   7pm-9pm


MAIN PRESENTATION

  TOPIC: The Go Programming Language on Linux 


  PRESENTED BY:
  Kevin Dankwardt

  TOPIC SUMMARY:
    The Go programming language "golang" is quickly gaining popularity for a
    range of applications on Linux.  Go programs are fast and powerful when
    compared to many other options such as Python or Perl or Ruby.  Since Go
    is now often used in a variety of applications, Linux system
    administrators and developers are likely to come across Go.  Let's
    discuss a variety of features of Go: how they work on Linux, and how Go
    fits into the usual approaches for system programming on Linux,
    especially when compared to C.  For example, Go applications are
    statically, not dynamically, linked.  What are implications of this?

  ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
    Kevin Dankwardt, Ph.D. (http://kcomputing.com/dankwardt.html) has been
    training engineers and administrators in Linux for over twenty years.  He
    is now embarking on consulting and training for Go developers.
