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

# Packages
Every Go program is made up of packages.
Programs start running in package `main`.

package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Hello, World!\n")
}


If you are writing an executable code (versus a library), then you need
to define a `main` package and a `main()` function which will be
the entry point to your software.

By convention, the package name is the same as the last element of the import path. For instance, the "math/rand" package comprises files that begin with the statement package rand.
