# The Go Programming Language
Companion website for the book "The Go Programming Language".
This repository provides the downloadable example programs
for the book, "The Go Programming Language"; see http://www.gopl.io.
The gh-pages branch is published at www.gopl.io (as determined by the
CNAME file in the root of that branch).
(At present, only gopl.io/ch1/helloworld is available. The other
programs will be published as soon as the book is printed.)
You can download, build, and run the programs with the following commands:
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/gobook # choose workspace directory
$ go get gopl.io/ch1/helloworld # fetch, build, install
$ $GOPATH/bin/helloworld # run
Hello, 世界
Many of the programs contain comments of the form `//!+` and `//!-`.
These comments bracket the parts of the programs that are excerpted in the
book; you can safely ignore them. In a few cases, programs
have been reformatted in an unnatural way so that they can be presented
in stages in the book.
The book examples will at some point be published here too.
