[jussij]

Here are some videos highlighting some of the Zeus, Go programming features:

• Go Language Autocomplete
• Go Programming Using Zeus
• Go Debugging Using Zeus
• Workspace Build, Run and Intellisense
• Manage Go Builds using the Zeus Workspace
• Manage Go Packages Using the Zeus Workspace

To program in the Go language using the Zeus IDE do the following.

1) Install the Go language using the installer found here: http://code.google.com/p/go/downloads/list

2) Make sure you are running the Zeus Version 3.97j or better, which can be downloaded from here.

3) Create this c:\temp\test.go file shown below:

Code: Select all

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Printf("Go, Hello world!\n")
}

4) Use the Compiler, Compile menu to compile this file.

5) Use the Macros, Run 'test.go' File menu to compile and run the file. This should result in the following output:

Code: Select all

6) To format the code to Go formatting standards just save the file and it will be automatically formatted. Alternatively, to manually trigger the format use the Macros, Go Format: 'test.go' menu.
