In this chapter, I describe the Go development tools, most of which were installed as part of the Go package in Chapter 1. I describe the basic structure of a Go project, explain how to compile and execute Go code, and show you how to install and use a debugger for Go applications. I also describe the Go linting and formatting tools.
