Go, Docker, Joyent, and New Relic

Go, Docker, Joyent, and New Relic IN PROGRESS

• Go Language Installation: 
• Download and install GoLang installer here
• Download and install Go Tools to /usr/local/go and include /usr/local/go/bin in PATH env and restart terminal

• Learning Go Language
• Setup Go Workspace

 $ mkdir $HOME/code/workspace_go
 $ export GOPATH=$HOME/code/workspace_go
 $ export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

• Create Base Path

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/ltfschoen

• Create First Program

$ mkdir $GOPATH/src/github.com/ltfschoen/go_test/hello

• Create hello.go file (ready to use the reverse.go Package dependency)

package main 

import (
"fmt"
"github.com/ltfschoen/go_test/stringutil"
) 

func main() {
fmt.Printf(stringutil.Reverse("!oG ,olleH\n"))
}

• Build and Run binary to test Go Tool installation success

        $ go install github.com/ltfschoen/go_test/hello

        $ $GOPATH/bin/hello

• Setup Git Repo

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ltfschoen/go_test/hello
$ git init
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:ltfschoen/GoTest.git
$ git add --all .
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
$ git pull origin master
$ git push origin master

• Write Go library (with Package directory)

$ mkdir $GOPATH/src/github.com/ltfschoen/go_test/stringutil

• Create Package dependency stringutil reverse.go and test compilation success 
• Note: 'go install' produces an output file, placing the package object inside the pkg directory of the workspace)

$ go build github.com/ltfschoen/go_test/stringutil

• Install hello.go program using the Go Tool to install the reverse.go Package and other dependencies

$ go install github.com/ltfschoen/go_test/hello

• Create reverse_test.go file with functions to be run by the Go Testing Framework and Package and Run Go Test

$ touch $GOPATH/src/github.com/ltfschoen/go_test/stringutil/reverse_test.go$ go test github.com/ltfschoen/go_test/stringutil
