Learn Go with Tests

\* Explore the Go language by writing tests \* Get a grounding with TDD. Go is a good language for learning TDD because it is a simple language to learn and testing is built-in \* Be confident that you'll be able to start writing robust, well-tested systems in Go Install Go - Set up environment for productivity. Hello, world - Declaring variables, constants, if/else statements, switch, write your first go program and write your first test. Sub-test syntax and closures. Integers - Further Explore function declaration syntax and learn new ways to improve the documentation of your code. Iteration - Learn about for and benchmarking. Arrays and slices - Learn about arrays, slices, len, varargs, range and test coverage. Structs, methods & interfaces - Learn about struct, methods, interface and table driven tests. Pointers & errors - Learn about pointers and errors. Maps - Learn about storing values in the map data structure. Dependency Injection - Learn about dependency injection, how it relates to using interfaces and a primer on io. Mocking - Take some existing untested code and use DI with mocking to test it.
