Ladies of Code LDN | February 2017
This time we had two lovely speakers who talked about Golang!
A Go developer's notebook - presented by Eleanor McHugh
Ellie's talk contained a heady mix of Go code and publishing history. The talk aimed to inspire us both to learn a new programming language and to consider taking whatever our interests are and turning them into a book using the Leanpub self-publishing platform to help others learn from our experience.
