"Already out of date"Â - by Glenn on 28-JUN-2010
Reviewer Rating:
As of 6/26/2010, this video tutorial is already out of date, as the Go language has changed rapidly since 12/2009. For example, most semicolons are no longer necessary. Also, in the file reading example, io.ReadFile no longer exists.
Finally, there are a number of technical difficulties with these videos on Safari Online:
1) The video under "Files, Bytes, and Text" called
"Create a New Go Source File" is a duplicate of the video introduced earlier with the same name.
2) One of the video had severe audio problems where a short phrase was repeated throughout the remained of the video.
3) The video collection ends abruptly after "Vectors and Dynamic Structures" whereas the author makes it clear that the tutorials are just getting started.
