go-rock-libraries-showcases hosts the materials for Go, an advanced tutorial series focused on well-known Go third-party libraries. It is designed for learners who have already finished Go, and want to deepen their skills by exploring real-world libraries that are popular and highly regarded in the Go ecosystem. The course uses a “three-in-one” approach: blog posts, code examples, and audio/video lectures are combined to explain each library in practical context. The README explains that the motivation is the sheer number of powerful libraries that many developers do not have time to evaluate, so the course highlights a subset of “rock star” libraries and shows how to use them effectively. The basic information section lists the instructor, prerequisites (basic Go ability, preferably completion of the fundamentals course), and the development environment: Go 1.2–1.4, Sublime Text 3, and macOS 10.9–10.10.
