Oh, and pointers – they’re like the secret sauce in Go programming, so having a good grasp of those will definitely come in handy. Ready? Let’s crack this inheritance enigma wide open! Introduction Transitioning to Go from more conventionally object-oriented counterparts like Java and C++ can be an eye-opening experience. [Read More]

Let’s explore exactly how flexible they are and how we can make the best use of them. Preamble I’ll assume that you have at least a passing familiarity with the Go programming language and interfaces. [Read More]
