Join me in this experiment, we'll make some Go programs visually without writing a single line of Go code.

Programming will be a required skill in the future, but for some people can be scary and difficult at first: too many keywords or too many grammar rules. We could lower the entry bar with a visual programming language, like Scratch is being taught at school. Could Go be a good option for this task? In this talk you could learn what can be done, the problems encountered and how to contribute to the future of this new way of programming Go.

According to the Wikipedia, a visual programming language (VPL) is any programming language that lets users create programs by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually.

Learn the multiples and fun possibilities of using Go on microcontrollers like Arduino to make gaming related hardware.

After a brief overview of the new features of TinyGo (http://tinygo.org), we'll move onto some cool and easy to make smart-toys that run Go. From classic PONG and a "Simon says" device to a pocket gaming console, and some other surprises. We'll end with an Open LED Race competition and the possibility to win hardware and make your our TinyGo device.

This talk will feature bright lights and sounds, maybe lasers too.

In this presentation I will talk about Android (and a little of iOS too) development with Gomobile. What options do we have when it comes to mobile devices and our favorite language, how to start and a few bits about my experience building an Android App.
