Get Go-ing
Friday - Oct 11 1:15 PM CDT - WASHINGTON
If you are interested in a different approach to writing your next micro-service, or are knee deep in the DevOps world with Kubernetes and Docker (both written using Go) you need to know go.
Come join me in a rather quick introduction to the language and it's merits and short-comings.
Micro-services, DevOps, command-line utilities — Go has been the catalyst in a quiet revolution happening right under our noses. Go, from Google, aims to be a language that is simple, with the aim of writing scalable and reliable software. Go brings a unique tilt to many aspects of language design, including enforcing a strict project structure, powerful tooling to support things like code-style enforcement, as well as “goroutines” to allow for concurrency.

About Raju Gandhi
Raju is a software craftsman with almost 20 years of hands-on experience scoping, architecting, designing, implementing full stack applications.
He provides a 360 view of the development cycle, is proficient in a variety of programming languages and paradigms, experienced with software development methodologies, as well an expert in infrastructure and tooling.
He has long been in the pursuit of hermeticism across the development stack by championing immutability during development (with languages like Clojure), deployment (leveraging tools like Docker and Kubernetes), and provisioning and configuration via code (toolkits like Ansible, Terraform, Packer, everything-as-code).
Raju is a published author, internationally known public speaker and trainer.
Raju can be found on Twitter as @looselytyped.
In his spare time, you will find Raju reading, playing with technology, or spending time with his wonderful (and significantly better) other half.
