 summary: "More materials for learning about Go: one talk, one codelab, and one screencast."

 Rob Pike recently gave a talk at Stanford's [Computer Systems Colloquium](http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/) (EE380).
 Titled [_Another Go at Language Design_](http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/Abstracts/100428.html),
 the presentation gives an overview of the itches Go was built to scratch,
 and how Go addresses those problems.
 You can view [a video stream of the talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VcArS4Wpqk),
 and [download the slides](http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/Abstracts/100428-pike-stanford.pdf).

 Last week's release included a code lab, [Writing Web Applications](/doc/articles/wiki/),
 that details the construction of a simple wiki program.
 It is a practical introduction to some fundamental Go concepts,
 and the first of a series of Go code labs.

 Lastly, we are often asked "How do Go packages work?" It's easier to show than to explain,
 so I put together a [Go Packages screen cast](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDWBJOXs_iI)
 that demonstrates the process of writing,
 building, installing, and redistributing Go packages.
 I hope to post more of these covering a variety of Go programming topics
 to the [gocoding YouTube channel](http://youtube.com/gocoding) in the near future.
