Francesc Campoy Flores

+ Understanding nil +

Is it a constant? + A variable? + Where is it defined? + What is its type? + It has no type? + It has all the types? Those are usual questions that people learning Go ask and this talk answers all of them and more.

+

The talk covers the different contexts where nil is used, what it means, the gotchas to be aware of, and some patterns where nil becomes essential.

+

In parallel to the exploration of how nil can be used I will also discuss the origin and history of nil in those contexts.

+
+

Wisdom Omuya

+ Go vendoring deconstructed +

Vendoring has been a major struggle for Go developers. Many of us have had to vendor packages to build dependences into our projects - usually by performing ugly rewrites of import paths.

+

Go 1.5 introduced the GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT environment variable which simplifies this process and avoids those rewrites.

+

In this talk, I'll demonstrate why and how we switched to the vendor experiment at MongoDB, and I'll give practical advice on how you can use this feature in your projects.

+
+

Wisdom Omuya is a software engineer at MongoDB and has been using Go since 2013.

+

He has worked on a number of large scale projects using Go, an open-source continuous integration tool, Evergreen, and the MongoDB server tools.

+

Wisdom holds a Masters degree in Computer Science from Columbia University.

Katrina Owen

+ Mind the Gap +

How do you learn Go? First do the tour. +Then read the language spec. +Then write a lot of code.

+

This works for a lot of people, but for some the gap between the tour and the spec is a vast chasm.

+ +

In his GopherCon 2015 keynote, Russ Cox said: Go needs everyone's help, and everyone isn't here.

+

This talk draws on two years of iterative exploration. It examines one way to bridge this gap, aiming to make Go accessible to a broader audience.

+
+

Katrina accidentally became a developer while pursuing a degree in molecular biology.

+

When programming, her focus is on automation, workflow optimization, and refactoring.

+

She works primarily in Go and Ruby, contributes to several open source projects, and is the creator of exercism.io.

Rob Pike

+ The Design of the Go Assembler +

The Go assembler was rewritten for the 1.5 release, replacing a suite of C programs, one per architecture, with a single binary, written in Go, that supports all architectures.

+

The usual variables, GOOS and GOARCH, are sufficient to configure it for any environment.

+ +

This talk will explain how this extreme portability is achieved for such a non-portable problem.

+

The answer lies in the structure and origin of the Go compilation tool chain, a mostly machine-independent input language, and a lot of automation.

+

Even for non-assembling Gophers, there are lessons in the design.

+
+

Rob Pike works at Google and is a co-creator of Go.

Keith Randall

+ Inside the Map Implementation +

Ever wondered how maps work in Go? + This talk will describe the current Go map implementation in detail and discuss some of the design tradeoffs.

+

I'll compare Go maps with maps in other languages, comparing the guarantees they provide and how that affects the implementations.

+
+

Keith Randall has been on the Go team at Google since 2013.

+

Bernerd Schaefer

+ Go without the operating system +

Go lets you to compile your program into stand-alone binaries which can be safely shared across systems without worrying about a missing dependency.

+

But there's one thing even a stand-alone executable depends on: the operating system. What if you could remove that dependency, too?

+ +

AtmanOS is a project built to explore that question.

+

It allows you to compile ordinary Go programs and run them on cloud providers like Amazon's EC2, without a traditional operating system.

+ +

Let's explore how it works, how to use it, and some considerations for putting it into production.

+
+

Bernerd leads the team at thoughtbot in Portland, where he helps clients build great digital products.

+

He prefers to spend his nights and weekends hiking in Forest Park and cooking up tasty meals at home, as well as hacking on personal projects like AtmanOS.

Raphael Simon

+ goa: a new approach to microservice development in Go +

This tutorial introduces a novel approach to building microservices in Go that uses code to describe the design of the service API.

+

The design is then fed to generation tools that produce not only actual service modules but also other outputs such as client Go packages, command line tools, Javascript and documentation via Swagger specifications and JSON schemas.

+ +

In this tutorial we will use goa to build a microservice from scratch complete with UI, client tool and documentation.

+

We’ll also take a look at how to leverage the goa request context at runtime to implement the API endpoint.

+
+

Raphael Simon is a Systems Architect at RightScale where he’s been designing many of the systems that make up the platform for the past 8 years.

+

Prior to that role Simon worked as a lead engineer at Eiffel Software on the Eiffel language compiler and libraries and as a principal engineer at Citrix on the GoTo line of products.

+

Simon received his MS in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at ENSEEIHT, France.

+ Hwyman, a building an origin cache for images +

At Imgix, our multitiered caching layer forms one of the most important components of our real­time image processing and delivery service.

+

Hwyman is the origin cache that we built using Go.

+

While the talk will shed some light on our architecture and what necessitated this system in the first place, the main thrust of the talk will be about our experience introducing the first Go based service at a very small company.

Filippo Valsorda

+ cgo: safely taming the beast +

cgo is a powerful tool, but using it right becomes subtle when memory starts to be shared between C and Go.

+

Thankfully since Go 1.6 the rules to follow are clear and the cgo behavior well defined.

+ +

In this talk we will look at cgo's capabilities and functioning, understand the issues related to memory management and garbage collection, and learn to develop safely around them to build bindings, but also static binaries and even C libraries.

+
+

Filippo Valsorda does cryptography and systems engineering at CloudFlare.

+

He's the main developer of the pure-Go CloudFlare DNS server, and wrote its DNSSEC implementation.

+

He often writes about Go on the company blog, talks about security and programming, and builds small Go demos like the Heartbleed test and the whoami SSH server.

+

He once wrote about building Python modules in Go, and got the memory allocations wrong.

Carolyn Van Slyck

+ Grow your users from an unlikely source: Windows developers +

You may not realize it but there are a lot of Windows developers moving into your neighborhood.

+

They are using and contributing to open source projects, even those that aren't just for Windows.

+

But here's the rub: Often tools are written Unix first, shoehorning Windows support in later. This approach can shut out potential users.

+ +

Lucky for us, Go has strong support for cross-platform development. So let's start writing cross-platform first and welcome our Windows neighbors.

+

Learn some of the Windows quirks that you should take into account, and the Go goodies to help you conquer them.

+
+

Carolyn is a software developer from Chicago, though one day she hopes to escape to the Pacific Northwest in search of faster internet, free-range kittens and respite from snow blowers.

+

She loves all things automation, developer tools and anything that will make her fellow developers lives easier; so she's found a good home at Rackspace on the Developer Experience team.

+

Like a grafted bonsai, her roots come from many places: happily developing C# applications on a Mac and deploying to Linux.
