Feature: Online Tutorials for Go developer using 'present'

[stefanhans]

Interactive tutorials for Golang is a missing feature in my opinion.

I am used to giving talks about Go using its tool present to edit and run the code inside the presentation.

• package present How to create the presentation
• Command present Start presentation on localhost or an App Engine instance

I have the slides of my presentations in my repo go-present, and it is published on go-talks.appspot.com/github.com/user/repo/path automatically.

If I need packages like go-libp2p, not included online, I have to do the presentation on localhost. There's as well the possibility to run present in the cloud, e.g., GCP App Engine. I've never tried it, but it seems manageable.

In any case, to have interactive tutorials showing how to use Go in combination with IPFS, libp2p, etc. would make ProtoSchool at least for Go developers more attractive.

Thanks for pointing out this tool!

As you can see in our roadmap (https://github.com/ProtoSchool/roadmap/blob/master/README.md#protoschool-roadmap), our short term plans are to stick with in-browser JavaScript-based lessons to minimize complexity of delivery method while we build out a solid arsenal of content with a consistent format. Longer term, once we have a larger body of tutorials, we’ll reassess the demand for command line and Go-based tutorials. Issues like this one will both help us highlight the demand and potentially come up with creative ways to update the platform to support that content that’s inherently harder to deliver in the browser.
