Detailed descriptions of core Go concepts

Type, value and equality of interfaces
An interface type consists of a set of method signatures. A variable of interface type can hold any value that implements these methods.
Create, initialize and compare structs
A struct is a typed collection of fields, useful for grouping data into records.
Slices/arrays explained: create, index, slice, iterate
A slice refers to a section of an underlying array. It can grow and shrink within the bounds of this array.
Maps explained: create, add, get, delete
Go maps are implemented by hash tables and offer efficient add, get and delete operations. You create a new map with a make statement or a map literal.
5 basic for loop patterns
The for loop can be used for three-component loops, while loops, infinite loops and for-each range loops. You can exit a loop with break or continue.
5 switch statement patterns
A switch-case-default statement is a shorter and cleaner way to write a sequence of if-else statements.
Packages explained: declare, import, download, document
Every Go program is made up of packages and each package has an import path.
