I did a search on Quora and found this discussion. However, Yahoo deprecated their API, so I had to do a search for other quote providers who had up-to-date quote data that you could access for free. It used to be as simple as making a call to the Yahoo Finance API. Easy enough, right? Just a simple HTTP GET request to the website of a quote provider. The first thing that I wanted to do is just to write a simple Go program that retrieved the price of MSFT stock and printed it out on the terminal.
Migrate to AWS by creating a new Elastic Beanstalk-based application.Test the Slash Command from within Slack.Point the new Slack application to the application that is running on the local server.Create a new Slack application that has a Slash Command.Change the code so it uses the Go-based Slack API to support a Slack Slash Command.Run the application using a local tunnel.Make the application run in a web server.Create a console-based Go program that gets the price of a stock.So I figured that I could combine the two for my first application in Go The source code to this project can be found here I have been spending an increasing amount of time in Slack, and I come from the world of finance. I always like to write something useful when I learn about new technologies. The nice thing about Golang is the support for writing multi-threaded applications. I started life way back when as a C programmer, and with Golang, I feel that I have come full-circle. I kept hearing that Go is a great language for writing distributed systems, and I certainly have written my fair share of distributed systems. One of the languages that I have been meaning to teach myself in Golang. I can also stumble around in Python and Scala. I am pretty good at C#, Java, C++, and NodeJS/TypeScript.
So, as I wind my way down the TODO list, I figure that I would start documenting some of my learnings so that it might be of use to others.Įven though I have been a Chief Architect and CTO for the last 15 years, I have still kept myself very technical, and I still code for pleasure, and occasionally, for my CTO as a Service clients. Not having full-time management duties frees up your time, and every day, I find that there is so much more to learn. Since leaving the corporate workforce and starting CTO as a Service, I have been slowly learning some things that have been on my TODO list for a while.
