Go Time

Are frameworks getting an Encore?

Tools and frameworks that aim to boost developer productivity are always worth a closer look, but we don’t often consider the trade-offs for whichever we settle on. In this episode, we discuss the questions one should be asking when evaluating developer productivity tools and frameworks in the Go ecosystem in particular. Joining us to discuss is André Eriksson, the creator of Encore [https://encore.dev], a backend framework that aims to make development and deployment as productive as it can be.

Building startups with Go

Startups are all about iterating quickly, building MVPs, and finding that elusive product market fit, so how does Go fit into that picture? Is Go a good choice for startups, or is it exclusively for the larger corporations? In this episode Jon is joined by four startup founders to learn about their experience building a startup with Go.

TCP & UDP

The internet wouldn’t exist as we know it if it weren’t for TCP and UDP, yet many developers don’t quite understand the technology powering the web. In this episode we talk with Adam Woodbeck, author of Network Programming with Go [https://nostarch.com/networkprogrammingwithgo], to learn about TCP and UDP; what they are, how they work, and how one can experiment with tools like Wireshark and Go to learn more.
