Your source for diverse discussions from around the Go community. This show records LIVE every Tuesday at 3pm US Eastern. Join the Golang community and chat with us during the show in the #gotimefm channel of Gophers slack. Panelists include Mat Ryer, Jon Calhoun, Carmen Andoh, Johnny Boursiquot, Angelica Hill, Mark Bates, Kris Brandow, and Natalie Pistunovich. We discuss cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, microservices, Kubernetes, Docker… oh and also Go! Some people search for GoTime or GoTimeFM and can’t find the show, so now the strings GoTime and GoTimeFM are in our description too.
TCP & UDP
The internet wouldn’t exist as we know it if it weren’t for TCP and UDP, yet many developers don’t quite understand the technology powering the web. In this episode we talk with Adam Woodbeck, author of Network Programming with Go, to learn about TCP and UDP; what they are, how they work, and how one can experiment with tools like Wireshark and Go to learn more.
