It's certainly worth looking at the standard flag package ( http://golang.org/pkg/flag/ ) if you just need flag parsing. I've also heard good things about https://github.com/spf13/…

That's a nice solution, though I've gone for a markdown admin widget instead. This one if I remember correctly: https://github.com/timmyomahony/django-pagedown

I'm in the process of moving away from a static site for my website. Simply put, a web interface is often more convenient so I can update things easier on the go, and it's good to …

It's surprisingly easy, though I believe the tests expect one to be configured (I haven't checked precisely why, or if it can be configured not to expect a database).

We whipped the landing page together quickly, it is definitely not a good indicator of the project design. Our new design looks like this: http://test.lfgss.com/ . We focused heavi…

"How to Write Go Code" shows you this, and is a good read: http://golang.org/doc/code.html

"Social networks -- real social networks, not the online instantiations of them -- work best when the groups are relatively small, Dunbar's number is respected, and there's a level…

I agree with the main conclusion here, but it's a stretch to reduce technology choices to a simple "new or not" dichotomy. Let's say you're writing a new web service in Java, becau…

`go vet` (checks correctness) and golint ( https://github.com/golang/lint ) are also extremely useful. As a whole the toolchain makes working with Go code very convenient.

If you're in London, you might like to come to the Go user group which I run with John Graham-Cumming: http://www.meetup.com/Go-London-User-Group/events/147685182/ Don't worry abou…

There's go-wiki: https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/w/list Another good resource for new Go programmers is Dave Cheney's list: http://dave.cheney.net/resources-for-new-go-programmer…

Thanks for pointing that out. The static routes in the talk are just for illustration -- we use nginx to serve them in production. One thing I haven't touched on at all is html tem…

In that case, I don't know a number that can be used for that comparison. 18k is the total number of lines in the source code files; the SLOC will be different. In hindsight, I sho…

High compared to what? It's just the output of wc -l `find microcosm/ -name *.go` so is really just a rough indication of the size of the project.
