Ultimate Go: Advanced Engineering Episode 8

December 19, 2022Introduction
In the first part of the series, Bill designed a dependency management system. The dependency manager needed to be distributed, transparent, cryptographically auditable and scalable. To meet these requirements, Bill borrowed concepts from blockchain. He did this to illustrate how the blockchain can be repurposed and used to accomplish the mundane task of dependency management. While doing so, Bill indirectly highlighted the problems a blockchain solves.
In the next segment of the series, Bill will build a semantically correct blockchain. He plans to perform this task entirely with Go and he’lll re-use the ideas described in the previous segment to further facilitate your understanding of what a blockchain is. Early on Bill admits he is no economist, and for the sake of the series he will use a hypothetical pot of gold as the starting equity for his blockchain. Follow along and learn how assets are “on-ramped” into the blockchain.
Things you will learn in this video
- Go’s standard library has the necessary functionality to build a blockchain.
- How a blockchain starts and the role of the “genesis” block.
- How assets are put into a blockchain.
