In @headfirstgo the "pill container" analogy is used for an Array, which I really love. It's fixed size, and you index into the collection with a day of the week (0-6). It can't grow. Much better than the ladder analogy ;)

I'm in the latest episode of Heroku's Code[ish] podcast! They were recording from their booth at #GopherCon and invited me to stop by. My appearance is at 12:09, but listen to the whole thing; it's a great way to get the pulse of the conference! heroku.com/podcasts/codeish/…

Some nice aspects of #golang only become obvious when you switch back to another language. For example, Go's function definition syntax progresses forward in time as you read left to right, from the parameters to the return type. C#/Java put the return type BEFORE the parameters!

I had disabled the "goimports" hook in my editor because I didn't want to miss noting when an import needed to be added in the samples for Head First Go. Just re-enabled it. Ahh, what a relief! 😌 godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools…
There is a new #golang book that just went to print on Amazon. It's called Head First Go by @jaymcgavren. It has a different feel and style from most of the other books out there today. headfirstgo.com/
