Title

Advanced Testing Techniques

Description

Whether you are just getting started in Go or have been writing Go code for a couple years, this class will make sure you have what you need to write simple, quick, robust tests. We will start with the basics, and work through advanced concepts such as testing asynchronous code, as well as mocking and injecting code. We'll finish up with looking at some popular testing libraries and CI (continuous integration) approaches. We believe in a hands-on approach to learning, so bring your laptops and be ready to write a lot of tests! What a student is expected to learn: Everyone will have a strong understanding of each part of testing. The test package will be covered in depth, different approaches to table-driven testing will be taught, as well as the numerous options for running tests and test suites. From there, a deep dive into unit, api, and system level testing will be covered. Students will learn how to test Net/HTTP packages, and how to mock out tests and create test harnesses. TDD (Test Driven Development) and BDD (Behavior Driven Development) will be covered, and testing packages that correspond to each will be presented as well. Finally, students will learn the basics on setting up Continuous integration both locally and at the server. Prerequisites: A basic understanding of the Go programming language. Beginners are highly encouraged to attend this training. While not necessary, it will be helpful if you have completed the Go tour (https://tour.golang.org).

Production ready cloud-native services with Go and Kubernetes

Description

It is easy to fall in love with a new programming language, tool or architectural approach, especially as it gains in popularity. Usually, we start trying new technology by understanding a "tour" or the "quick start" guidance. However, in practice, it is not always so simple to bridge the gap between our first web server and a real production-ready application, this is especially true if this application should be prepared for a cloud-native infrastructure.

What a student is expected to learn:

This workshop presents one of the possible strategies for writing cloud-native services with Go and Kubernetes. During the workshop, we will discuss how to design stable, scalable, reliable and performant applications. Step by step, we will write a service from scratch and prepare it for deployment. We will try continuous integration and continuous delivery with a prepared Kubernetes platform and discuss the benefits of this way.

• Requirements for cloud-native services
• How to structure a Go application
• Code quality
• Dependency management and immutability
• Observability
• Operability
• Containerization and security basics
• Versioning and configuration management
• Automation and CI/CD pipelines

Prerequisites:

The workshop is the most interesting for those who already started learning Go but still considers themselves as beginners.

If you would like to join this workshop as a participant, you need to install:

• A stable version Go (the newest version is recommended)
• Any IDE or editor to be able to write in Go
• Docker Community Edition (https://www.docker.com/community-edition) to build and run containers with the services
• A free GitHub account - to store and publish the source code
• A Git client configured to work with your GitHub account
• If you use Windows, please also install Cygwin (https://cygwin.com/install.htm)

During the workshop, we will also install and set up some additional tools to work with Kubernetes.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Distributed Tracing in Go

Description
In the age of microservices, understanding how applications are executing in a highly distributed environment can be complicated. Looking at log files only gives a snapshot of the whole story and looking at a single service in isolation simply does not give enough information. Each service is just one side of a bigger story. Distributed tracing has emerged as an invaluable technique that succeeds in summarizing all sides of the story into a shared timeline. Yet deploying it can be quite challenging, especially in the large scale, polyglot environments of modern companies that mix together many different technologies. During this session, we will take a look at patterns and means to implement Tracing for services. After introducing the basic concepts we will cover how the tracing model works, and how to safely use it in production to troubleshoot and diagnose issues.

The Athens Project - A Proxy Server for Go Modules / Aaron Schlesinger

Text
Go 1.11 introduced modules, the new standard package management system for Go. It’s a massive step forward for the community, especially because we can build proxy servers instead of just using Github to fetch code. Athens is leading the way to solve some painful problems we’ve had for years.

Before Athens, he was a core maintainer and chair of the Kubernetes Service Catalog special interest group (SIG-Service-Catalog) and a contributor to various other projects in the Kubernetes community.

He has almost 15 years of software engineering experience and when he discovered Go around 2013, he hasn’t looked back. He lives in San Mateo, CA where he and his wife love to run up and down mountains together.

Psychology of Code Readability / Egon Elbre

Text
Much of the existing software literature that teaches how to write readable code focuses on “rules of thumb” rather than comparing and dissecting real examples of code readability. Psychology provides various concepts that allow developers to identify code that is readable versus code that isn’t.

Bio
Egon Elbre is a software engineer with over 10 years of experience. He started playing with Go just after the first public announcement and has hung around since then. He loves finding new ways of looking at code such that it would be easier to maintain, understand and, most of all, ensure that it delivers value. He strongly believes that there are explanations that help people learn and be productive faster. When he’s not neck deep in code he’s either drawing or playing the piano.

Advanced Ultimate Go

Description

This class has been designed over the past 4 years and goes beyond just being a Go language class. There will be very little time spent on specific Go syntax. Our time will be spent learning how to read and understand Go code with a big focus of "if performance matters" then these things matter. During the day we will talk about code design, semantics, guidelines, mechanical sympathy and data oriented design.

Language Mechanics / Semantics

• Pointers
• Data Semantics
• Control Flow Design
• Decoupling Mechanics
• Compositional Design

What a student is expected to learn:

Everyone is going to be mentally exhausted by the end of the day. We will be challenging every student to think about what they are doing and why. In the 4 years we have taught this material, we never had someone not appreciate the class and feel like they are a better developer for it. If you want to be a better Go developer, code reviewer, designer and architect, this is the class you want to take.

Prerequisites:

A basic understanding of the Go programming language. Students do not have to be expert Go users but they will get the most from the workshop if they have completed the majority of the Go Tour.
