Developing Unicode Aware Applications in Go

This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Developing Unicode Aware Applications in Go. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.

Course Description

Text might seem like an easy issue, but once you get started with Unicode, there’s so much you need to know. Go comes with built-in support for Unicode, but you need to know how to work with it efficiently and effectively. In this course, join instructor Miki Tebeka as he demonstrates the fundamentals of working with Unicode including strings, parsing text, and encoding. By the end of this course, you’ll also be prepared to avoid common Unicode mistakes on your next Go development project.

See the readme file in the main branch for updated instructions and information.

Instructions

This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.

Branches

The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter. Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.

When switching from one exercise files branch to the next after making changes to the files, you may get a message like this:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:        [files]
Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches.
Aborting
