If you prefer to have an enjoyable and rewarding online experience when you log on to do some research, or search for a subject, or just want to see who makes a good product, you do.  It’s the programming language that’s quietly working in the background to provide you with that experience. 

A Gathering of Gophers
The downtown Denver Marriott was the site of the 2014 Gophercon Convention, a convention of coders from around the world.  Gathering to hear lectures and learn new things, go language users got to see the latest and greatest and how to use it in their work creating content and applications for the rest of us to use and enjoy.
