Introduction to Go

This course is an introduction to Go for people who already have some programming experience.

The course material consists of slides (broken down into five parts, for easier navigation) some of which contain editable and executable code samples. You can run the slideshow on your machine after following a few simple steps:

1. If you haven't already installed Go on your machine, do so by following the official installation instructions.

2. Important: make sure that the directory where Go installs binaries is in your PATH environment variable. The directory in question is usually given by the following command:

   echo `go env GOBIN`

3. Install the present tool:

   go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/present@latest

4. Clone this repository and cd to the clone:

   git clone https://github.com/jub0bs/go-course-beginner
   cd go-course-beginner

5. Run the present tool:

   present

   The output should contain some local URL (like http://127.0.0.1:3999).

6. Visit the URL from step 5 in your browser, then click on "00_prelude.slide" to start the first slideshow.
