Me at FOSDEM 2011: Practical Go Programming

February 19 2011, 7:34 PM  by Andrew Gerrand

"Practical Go Programming"

This is a variation on the talk I gave at OSDC in Melbourne last year. The slides are available here.

I had a great time at FOSDEM. It was a very well-organised event, with thousands of open-source hackers from all over Europe coming together to learn and get things done. I'll be back next year for sure.

Update: I've written a post describing the internals of final the demonstration.

    The person who asked the last question does not deserve the answer he received.

    I'm inclined to agree. I was really shocked by how rude he was!

    great presentation.. towards the end, you showed the benchmarking real time graph. Is it something available in standard go tools? thanks.

    I was shocked too, but you handled it very gracefully.

    Very cool talk over all. I enjoyed it very much.

    @bsr - I wrote a custom stats collection server in Go and used Flotr on the client side to produce those graphs. You can find the code in this github repo:

    I hope to write a blog post on how I put this together in the next week or so. It only took me about an hour to throw together - very satisfying!

    @gob - thanks for pointing that out. I actually noticed this during the talking itself, unfortunately. Will fix it this week.
