Computers (not people!) are good at doing many things quickly. Very many things and very quickly.

Understanding basics of TLS by writing small programs in Go

You can make computers faster by programming them to do things concurrently instead of sequentially. And if you have multiple CPUs (which nowadays you almost certainly have) these things are done in parallel.

This is the first part of a series introducing Bash programmers to Go. This part goes through the language building blocks that will be used in later parts.

Thanks, done: https://github.com/go-monk/from-bash-to-go-part-ii/commit/16...

I've been working in the sysadmin/devops/cybersecurity domains. I came to Go from Bash/Perl/Python. It took me quite some time to get productive in Go but now I'm using Go (+ some Bash for smaller tasks) most of the time - for building tools, automation and platforms. I created a three-part series for people like me that could help them to start learning Go. This is the first part.
