Good video - I've been guilty of at least one of these problems and he really steps through the examples in detail. As usual with security the devil is in the details, and defaults.
Lots of good material here - this is probably more in depth than is required for a beginner programmer (IMO), and Go does a good job of hiding the complexity most of the time, but it is useful to understand this stuff if you're using pointers. I do think you can write consistent and readable code in Go without understanding the behaviour language to this level of detail though as long as you grasp what a pointer is (a reference not a value).
Not a lot of new features in this release, looks like smaller bug fixes, but there is a security fix in 1.8.2 so probably worth upgrading. Amazing (and wonderful) how boring Go is becoming!

I don't know why either but it looks fun!
Old blog post but still good.
Wow, that was comprehensive. Definitely worth reading if you're interested in who uses Go and why. Thanks to the go team for putting it all together!
