Some interesting golang reading

golang bookmarks programming technical reading

Well, I found it interesting at any rate. You’ll have seen earlier where I was very excited about Gophernotes. I am going to say as of this writing that the excitement in question was justified. Very well justified. Install was easy (I actually tested the install in both jupyter lab and nteract. They both work, although I think Jupyter works a touch better). I’m working on making sure that importing the notebooks to the blog will work the way I think it will (I may need to do a little tinkering, but hey, maybe I’ll manage to send somebody a pull request out of it) and I’ll be demonstrating what you can do with it in a notebook context. I expect good things.

Got a couple of other golang resources that might be of interest to you, especially if you like image handling stuff (and who doesn’t). The first however, is more practical: Import Cycles in Golang. It’s very nicely written, and I found it useful. I also found this useful: Image Processing in Go. It’s a serious deep dive into the Go standard library’s image capabilities. Amir Zildzic delivers the goods. This will teach you needful stuff about image mucking about from someone who knows what he’s doing. I’m going to be mining this article for ages.
