Introduction to GO CS240 20/8/2017 1
Course overview Course website: http://web.kaust.edu.sa/Faculty/MarcoCanini/classes/CS240/F17/ Piazza: https://piazza.com/kaust.edu.sa/fall2017/cs240/home Grades are based on lab assignments and exams We will use Go as the programming language for the assignments Prof. Canini is away this week; he will expand more on the class overview next week Today we will re-introduce version control and go over the basics of Go (golang) 2
Version control It is a way to manage different versions or revisions of the files. Examples: Undo/redo buffers Google docs Overleaf (online Latex) Multiple versions sibyani@kaust:~$ ls assignment1-1.go assignment1-2.go assignment1- 3_work_in_progress.go 3
Example: finished 1-1 finished 1-2 working 1-3 sibyani assignment1.go assignment1.go assignment1.go 4 Local Versioning
finished 1-1 sibyani assignment1.go github/sibyani Remote Versioning 5
finished 1-1 sibyani assignment1.go finished 1-1 github/hsibyani assignment1.go Remote Versioning 6
finished 1-1 finished 1-2 working 1-3 sibyani assignment1.go assignment1.go assignment1.go finished 1-1 finished 1-2 github/hsibyani assignment1.go assignment1.go Remote Versioning 7
finished 1-1 finished 1-2 working 1-3 sibyani assignment1.go assignment1.go assignment1.go finished 1-1 finished 1-2 working 1-3 github/hsibyani assignment1.go assignment1.go assignment1.go Remote Versioning 8
finished 1-1 sibyani mcanini assignment1.go finished 1-1 github/team assignment1.go Collaborative Remote Versioning 9

Git Git is a version control system (not the only one) Most common commands git init: create git repository git add: add a file to be tracked in the repository https://education.github.com/pack git commit: commit the current tracked files git push: push the local files to the cloud git pull: pull the cloud files locally Start with git at: https://try.github.io 11
Why Go? Simpler, cleaner, and faster programming Fast compilation Easier interface abstractions Garbage collection Concurrency as a goal source: xkcd Read more in: https://golang.org/doc/faq#Origins 12
Who uses Go? and many more ... 13
Installation Usually straightforward (package manager or source) apt (Ubuntu) yum/dnf (RedHat) brew (macOS) Pay special attention to environment variables You may need to make sure you configure some of them (GOPATH and GOROOT) 14
