I took a pause on the Go course, and was concentrating on other things. I was having some problem following Derek’s teaching on defined types (#26). Specifically these functions that begin with parenthesis () I don’t remember him talking about them before.
Seem perhaps more related to Go method receiver functions.
So if I google go defined types I get a lot of hits on types in general.
But after much googling on the subject I made a connection with methods. If I google go methods I find this or this useful explanation which seems a more fitting title (at least for me) for this lesson.
I had been complaining for a few months about not having any projects. But luckily lately I found plenty of diversions from the Go class. Sometime I just need to step away for a while. I got interested in Gambas and Wireshark. You can easily branch off of Wireshark to include so many other things such as home networking (in my case), GNS3 and more. I think virtual networks may apply to GNS3 so today I was looking at QEMU which uses baked in KVM, as a better virtualization method over Virtualbox. Today I was looking at network tap videos. So I had something to shift my concentration to.
Anyway I did do a little review today…
Reviewed 15 no funky functions
Reviewed 19 no funky pointers
Reviewed 25 and Struct @6:08 shows weird function beginning with () [what kinda function begins with ()? I don’t remember an explanation anywhere) as shown in #26
Need to study this a bit before returning.
