Golang

Golang Playground to keep track of related projects.

Objetive is to save ready to run projects/code for future reference or use it as tutorials.

First projects are based on https://go.dev/doc/tutorial/

Installation

Following instructions are for Linux OS

• Remove previous installation
  rm -rf /usr/local/go
• Download last file from go.dev/dl/
  wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.21.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Repo Organization

Number prefix increase with project complexity/size.

Folders named by frameworks contain examples of those, and will follow same prefix pattern than root Golang folder.

A README.md file can be (usually) find in each folder with breaf indications to reproduce the example from scratch.

│   ├── 01_Packages
│   │   ├── README.md
