Hello World in Go - Remote programming party

There was a interesting discussion at the recent LA CTO Forum about companies requiring candidates to know trendy programming languages instead of focusing on core software engineering skills. I decided to invite them to a remote programming party where I can share my love for the the Go programming language.

Pradipe, Kuba, and Sean joined a google hangout session and connected (ssh) to my server where we worked on the same codebase. Here is the video:
