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.
You can download the example project for this chapter—and for all the other chapters in this book—from https://github.com/apress/pro-go. See Chapter 2 for how to get help if you have problems running the examples. ...
