Ever wondered about hardware hacking with Go? Now’s your chance! The Go Hardware Hack Session is coming to GopherConAU, where you’ll control blinky LEDs, robots, and other fun devices—all with the power of Go. Just bring your notebook computer and a sense of fun; we’ll provide the rest.
This is a coding adventure that lets you interact with the physical world!
PLUS, you’ll get to work with programmable conference badges, which you can not only hack on during the session but also take home to continue your hardware journey and show off at the rest of the conference.
Don’t miss out on "Australia’s first official" Go hardware hack session, run by TinyGo team member and cyborg-at-large @deadprogram!

This immersive workshop is designed to equip you with essential knowledge and practical skills through two comprehensive sessions:
Morning Session: Intermediate - Concurrency Fundamentals and Pitfalls - Dive into the core components of Go’s concurrency model, including goroutines, channels, context management, error handling with ErrorGroup, and synchronization primitives such as mutexes, wait groups, and atomic operations.
Through engaging code challenges, you’ll learn to navigate common pitfalls and master these foundational tools.
Join us for an engaging morning session followed by a delicious lunch!
Afternoon Session: Go Concurrency - Advanced
Join us for an in-depth exploration of advanced concurrent design patterns, including Future, Pipeline, Fan-Out/Fan-In, Worker Pool, Dynamic Rate-Limited Worker Pool, and Pub-Sub.
This session will not only cover the theoretical aspects of these patterns but also provide hands-on experience through technical challenges that focus on designing and implementing these patterns in Go. You’ll learn to prioritize scalability, performance, and correctness in real-world scenarios.
Join us for lunch followed by an engaging and informative session!
