In this, my sixth and probably final article on the Go programming language, I’m running through some smaller features which I didn’t go into detail on in earlier articles. We’ll look at extending and copying slices in more detail, type assertions, error handling, common string manipulations, basic file I/O, embedding files in binaries, and context objects.

In this, my fifth article on the Go programming language, I’m looking at the build and packaging process, and other tooling. I’ll start by looking at how code is structured into packages, and then look at the tools for building, packaging and testing.
