Gophergala 2015

Gopheregala 2015 was one of the most amazing hackathon we have participated in, till date. Golang is the first love of every web app developer in RainingClouds. Being one of the early adopters of Golang, We were very excited about Gophergala and decided to co-host the event in Pune. 

Golang (incubated in Google) is gaining a lot of popularity among developers. Just to gauge the interest among the people in Pune, we had co-organized a "Golang Primer" event. We have been developing some amazing products for our clients in Golang for the last one year, so we decided to share our experience with the amazing and interactive crowd we had for the event. Here is our deck for the event. We met a lot of interesting developers keen on shifting onto Golang. We were glad to help them out to clear up some of their doubts.

One of the odd things for Gophergala was, it was overlapping with a long weekend in India. Despite of that we saw a great support from the Pune gophers. There were 4 teams coding live from Synerzip office.  

We also had participated in hackathon and ended up with an automated API documentation creator middlewares for the web apps written in Golang. It was a great experience for us. Our first version was ready in almost 9 hrs with documentation. We have got a good feedback from the community as well, 23 stars and 2 forks in 5 days :). Here is our screencast for YAAG : Yet Another APIdoc Generator.

Here is GitHub repo of YAAG. We have tried to give support to as many web frameworks and libraries as we can for YAAG. And we are committing to continue the development of YAAG in future to make it a full fledged document maker for Golang web apps. 

In all it was a great experience for us and we are looking forward to create more and more amazing products in Golang.
