Go for PHP developers
Details
Dear members,
Finally....after a 2 year 'emptiness' with just 1 meetup, we're back organizing meetups for the community! Obviously we're very excited to start organizing in-person events again.
We sort-of continue where we stopped after January 2020 and will visit the excellent building of Senet in the south of Eindhoven. Food (pizza) and drinks will be provided by our host as you are used to.
Notice: this meetup is not on our usual meetup day, Wednesday, but on Thursday.
The lecture
Go combines the best of many programming language worlds. It can compile Windows executables on Linux, it's as readable as PHP, it's as fast as C/C++, and has a rich ecosystem like Java. During this talk, we will write some Go programs and give you an idea how Go works.
We touch subjects like channels, go-routines and highlight the big differences between PHP and Go.
