Weekend of Go

Gopher Gala

Gopher Gala is a distributed 48-hour hackathon for the Go programming language. Register and build something awesome!

You can fly solo or form a team of up to four people. To hack from Startup Edmonton, you can also register here. Startup Edmonton will be open the full 48 hours. Things kick off Friday, January 23 at 6pm and go until Sunday at 6pm.

Global Game Jam is happening the same weekend. Why not register for both and make a game in Go!

Go Workshop

If you are new to Go or would like to round out your knowledge of the fundamentals, we are hosting a one-day workshop on Saturday, January 24.

William Kennedy, co-author of Go in Action, is flying in from Miama to lead the course. Tickets are available for $150 – a discount on his regular Bootcamp pricing. Lunch, coffee and cool swag included.

If you would like to put into practice what you’ve learned, register for the Gopher Gala too and see if you can join a team for Sunday.

Edmonton Go Meetup

Monday, January 26th is our regularly scheduled meetup, with talks from community members.

Last year was loads of fun, with a sphero zombie hacknight and giant gopher cake. Hope you join us this year for more fun, learning and sharing.

The fancy gopher was designed by Renee French. Winter gopher adapted by Erick Zelaya, based on the original gopher by Renee French.
