Source files for the Go language course

Zero To Mastery: Golang

This repo contains the source files to accompany the Go language course found at zerotomastery.io.

Demos / Exercises

To follow along with the demos & work on the exercises, open the src/lectures directory in your IDE. Demo source files are available in src/lectures/demo and coding excercises are available in src/lectures/exercise. When your terminal is in the src/lectures directory, demos can be ran using go run ./demo/demo-name and exercises can be ran using go run ./exercise/exercise-name.

Solutions

To view solutions for the exercises and projects, checkout the solutions branch using git checkout solutions (you may need to commit or stash your changes to switch branches). The solutions branch also includes the code seen in the demos.

Slides

Offline copies of all the slides used in the course are available for download here. File names correspond to the titles of the lectures.

Pixl

To work on the Pixl project, open the projects/pixl directory in your IDE. You can then execute go run ./pixl to run the project.

Pixl Prerequisites

The Pixl project requires a working installation of gcc. Installation instructions for various operating systems are covered in the course. gcc is a widely available tool, so if your operating system is not detailed in the course (or if you are having trouble), please ping Jayson#6730 in Discord for installation assistance or ask in #go or #helpme.

Keiko

k6 is used to benchmark the performance of the server for this project. To install k6, run go install go.k6.io/k6@latest.

After installation completes, you can run a benchmark with k6 run bench.js.

Keiko also uses SQLite, which requires gcc. If you can run Pixl, then you are good to Go :)
