The Hugo documentation and reference material is awesome. However, if you haven't really gotten into Hugo, it's hard to figure out when you have a more focused... Like, "I just want to figure how to do X. I wanna take my website and convert it to Hugo." |
Anyway, that's the type of blog post that I try to write - the little thing that you stumble across that was tricky and really does have a simple answer. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I've gotta go read that. I've probably done 15 Hugo website cut-ups now, and I'm getting really good, but I wish I had your blog post two years ago. |
**Katrina Owen:** \[51:59\] Well, the first time it's so hard... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's painful. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So I think we've got about ten minutes left, and I'd love to move on to some projects and news. Brian's got a good one. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I've got some big news I'm itching to share. One of our prolific listeners, Chase Adams, had a brand new baby girl L, and he's constantly tweeting pictures of him and her listening to GoTime FM, so we want to congratulate Chase and mom and baby L. Congratulations on the new Gopher addition to your f... |
**Erik St. Martin:** He was reading Go books to the baby while it was still in her stomach. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's how you do it. |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's commitment. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** She'll be on GoTime giving us tips pretty soon. \[laughter\] |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Soon enough. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Guest on the show at two. Brian, I think you sent this out somewhere, and I'm stealing it because it was pretty awesome. There's this GitHub project that's completely written in Go, but it takes a picture and then creates geometry shapes and rebuilds the image with it. It's just awesome. It's far b... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, that's right... Fogleman? |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** github.com/fogleman/primitive. They have a Twitter feed too, they've just posted something on Twitter, so I started following the Twitter feed too, because it's really neat. They take these images and turn them into a very low number of polygons using Go, and they're surprisingly artistic and fun to... |
**Erik St. Martin:** I love it when people come up with these creative uses for things that you totally would not have thought of. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I did this this morning, I did a primitive rendition of the barbecue gopher from our Gopher Barbecue Slack channel. I will drop that into our Slack here while we're talking, so that everybody can see how cool Primitive is while we're poking around here. |
**Katrina Owen:** Wow, that's beautiful. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I don't know who thought of this, but this is just crazy. I wanna go through a picture collection and just run all of it through there. I need to write a script, see what emerges. |
**Katrina Owen:** Awesome! This might have to be my next slide deck for my next talk. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** The neat thing about it is that you can choose to output a regular file, or if you choose a .gif, it will create an animated .gif for you and show the process while it creates all those polygons, and that is just so cool to watch. I'm really enjoying that. |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's actually a fun idea - take your slide deck, run your slide deck through this, and then get new images. |
**Katrina Owen:** Cool. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, anybody else have any fun projects and news? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I wanna mention something that I thought was super interesting and cool... Sameer Ajmani, he managed the Go language team; he posted on Twitter a couple days ago that he's looking for people who are using Go to teach university courses, because he wants to help them have better resources. I'd rea... |
**Katrina Owen:** That's brilliant. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[56:00\] Yeah, right? I had no idea. So spread the word, because I think Go is such a good language to learn how to program. I might be biased... I don't know. I think it is. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I was just having a conversation two days ago with somebody who's name I've already forgotten, who teaches Go at a college in California, and he loves it. He says it's the perfect teaching language. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I know, it's Todd McLeod's. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Maybe that's it. I don't know. I've slept since then, so I've forgotten. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** He teaches in Fresno. He recently did a GoBridge workshop in Fresno, it was very cool. Actually, that is a good segue into my next thing that I want to mention, which was mentioned by Florin Patan in our ping repo (thank you!). It is Better Go Playground Chrome Extension. This thing is so cool. B... |
Also, if you run your code and you have errors, there will be an indication in the line, telling you where the error is. When I got the extension, I remembered that Todd had a bunch of snippets from the Go Playground, and I just went through the list and opened them in a Go Playground to test out this extension. \[unin... |
**Erik St. Martin:** This is like one step closer to Brian's ultimate goal, which is to just deploy a VM in a cloud and develop off of it. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, don't get me started. I am there. Maybe we should have an episode on that, because I completed it today, Erik. My goal is done. It is complete. |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's awesome. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** In fact, I showed it off to somebody today, and he was pretty impressed. So the one thing I wanted to bring up was Gallium, which is the framework for building native web apps in Go, much like React Native, but Go Native, and that is totally awesome. I can't wait to dig into that some time in 2018 w... |
**Erik St. Martin:** This is very much similar to Electron, but in Go. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yes, exactly. |
**Erik St. Martin:** This is really cool. This was a while back, but I was attempting to do something with Go and Seth, which was the Chrome embedded framework. I never took off with it too far, I think mostly because of time. But this is really cool. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, I wanna play with it. A lot. I won't, because I don't have time. \[laughter\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** Our first episode in mid-2018, we will talk about what you did with it. \[laughter\] |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[59:45\] So maybe that's a good segue into \#FreeSoftwareFriday. \[laughter\] Familiar listeners will know that we love to shout out to open source projects and maintainers, and just let them know that we care, we love them, we love the work they do and we appreciate their projects, so I will start... |
A couple hundred lines of code and I've got a fully automated solution to bring new students online, on a server, with a Go environment and a web IDE with two clicks. It's just amazing. I love Go. Thank you, Go. Thank you, Go Team, thank you everybody who's contributed to Go. Big hearts everywhere. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** And you have a pretty cool course to teach people how to do that, right? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's true, I'm teaching a lot of classes, upcoming in October. Boston, I've got an online class 24th or 23rd October, both through O'Reilly. If you're listening live, you can use discount code Ketelsen to get 25% off either one of those classes. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I really wanna take your online class. Online because I'm not in any of the places you'll be teaching. |
**Erik St. Martin:** They have planes. \[laughs\] |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Well, I'll be lucky if Fastly pays for it, so I'm definitely gonna be asking. Because I think I'm right there, needing to master everything that's listed there. I feel like I'm close, but it's also very confusing to figure out what the idiomatic way is, and you spend a lot of time trying to figur... |
**Erik St. Martin:** So this is the thing that Brian's been trying to show off to me for like the last week, and I've been too busy. It creates a user, sandboxes them inside of a container, copies over the training material... It did a whole bunch of stuff; it has a little command line tool for it... |
