As Moore’s Law is reaching the end of its lifecycle, the need for concurrency is rising and consequently, the need for a programming language that enables effective implementation of concurrent programs is rising too. For this reason, Go has become one of the most popular languages in recent times. This course aims to provide a detailed introduction to Go for beginners. Furthermore, it also articulates how Go is different from traditional programming languages that programmers are accustomed to in order to acquaint programmers getting ready to delve into Go with the language too.

An Introduction to Programming in Go

# Homebrew

The easiest way to install Go for development on OS X is to use
[homebrew](http://brew.sh/).

Using `Terminal.app` install homebrew:

$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"


Once homebrew is installed, install Go to be able to crosscompile:


In just a few minutes, go should be all installed and you should
be almost ready to code. However we need to do two small things before
we start:

# Setup your paths

By convention, all your Go code and the code you will import, will
live inside a workspace. This convention might seem rigid at first,
but it quickly becomes clear that such a convention (like most Go
conventions) makes our life much easier.

Before starting, we need to tell Go, where we want our workspace to be,
in other words,
where our code will live. Let's create a folder named "go" in our home
directory and set our environment to use this location.
