[GTALUG] Learning Go

[William Park]

I'm now going through "tour of go" (go.dev/tour), keeping "spec" 
(go.dev/ref/spec) and "standard library" (pkg.go.dev/std) open in other 
tabs for reference.

One thing I find irritating is that variable comes first and then its 
type.  This is stopping the flow of my reading.  Too used to C.
