Title Explore data types in Go
Description What is this session about? This session will teach you about the data types in Go that serve as the foundation for building data structures in a Go program. We'll cover: arrays, slices, maps, structs, and built-in functions to manipulate data. This will round out the fundamentals of Go and should give you a deep enough understanding to start building and developing in Go. This is part 3 of 3 of our mini series on Go. Who is it aimed at? This workshop is aimed at developers who want to learn more about Go and get hands-on experience writing code with Go. To participate, you should have Visual Studio Code installed. This is a beginner's workshop, although it is preferred if you have knowledge of basic programming concepts in Go. Why should you attend? You should attend this workshop if you want to get more familiar with the Go programming language and be more comfortable creating your own Go applications.

Instructor notes

Please share this link with attendees to follow along: https://aka.ms/GoDataTypesStructsMaps-8

This workshop covers the following:

  • Arrays
  • Slices
  • Maps
  • Structs

Recommendations for walking through the content:

  • Walk through the first 5 units together. Explain the concepts and complete the exercises together
  • For the data types challenge, try to give attendees a few minutes on their own to think about how to implement the solution, then walk through the solution together
  • Visual Studio Code with the Go extension should be used to run all the examples in this module. (The Go Playground will work as an alternative, but not for all examples). Try to spend most of your time in Visual Studio Code and less time showing the actual Learn module

Wrapping up:

  • At the end of the workshop, ask attendees to complete the knowledge check and summary so they can get a badge for completing the module.
  • Also please encourage them to rate the module please 😄
  • Share out the survey link: https://aka.ms/Reactor/Survey with the event code (the Reactor contact on the call can give you this)
