I watched the video and have only positive feedback:
- I was very pleased with the pace. It wasn’t boring and it wasn’t rushed.
- I could hardly believe 5 minutes could cover so much useful content.
- I really liked the idea of weaving in a pattern for solving problems on top of showing how to do the specific task.
My only suggestion for improvement is to keep them coming!

Thanks Carlisia - I’ll definitely keep them coming (and keep them practical
like you mentioned)!
Also, if you have any topics you’d like to see covered, I’ve tried to make
the submission process as easy as possible:

Thanks Luke! If you ever have stuff you want me to cover, feel free to submit them at https://github.com/arschles/go-in-5-minutes/issues
Thanks for these Aaron. I love that you have transcripts/code available too, which should be really helpful for people learning. Good Job!
Glad to do it, I’m having fun and learning too!
Thanks @nmabhinandan!
I’m setting up a site now for the screencasts. It likely won’t have all the features of Laracasts at launch, but now I have a model to work toward.

Also, @nmabhinandan I’m developing a site for Go In 5 Minutes, and have a rough version up now. I’d appreciate any feedback! http://arschles.com/go-in-5-minutes/

The site is down
Hey again everyone! A few announcements:
- As I mentioned in my reply to @nmabhinandan, I stood up a site to house summaries and YouTube embeds for all screencasts. Check out http://www.goin5minutes.com/
- I’ve published two new screencasts since my last announcement: Building Full Stack Web Applications with Go (this has been a very popular one, with over 2000 views), and Writing Unit Tests Against HTTP Handlers
Enjoy!
Hey everyone - episode 7 is here, and it’s about vendoring your dependencies in Go 1.5. Enjoy!

Hey All -
Three episodes since I last posted:
- Profiling Go Programs - good to know for anyone writing production Go code
- The Optional Singleton Pattern - a good pattern for library and package authors. This pattern can make your library easier to use.
- Concurrency: The Daily Walk - a complete guide to solving problem #1 on this blog post. Introduces and explains two important, but simple, concurrency patterns.
And, as always, feel free to submit or +1 issues at https://github.com/arschles/go-in-5-minutes/issues.
Enjoy!

Hey All -
Two episodes since my last post:
- Structuring JSON APIs in Go - A good guide for properly separating concerns when you build your next API server
- Concurrency Series: Eating Tapas - introduces the concept of passing channels in channels to do full-duplex communication from multiple senders to one receiver.
Regarding the second point, this pattern with channels has some similarities to actors. I’m challenging you to take it further.
Can you find other patterns in Go that emulate actors? Reply here or file an issue if you do!
Enjoy,
Aaron
