There has been a lot of talk about generics lately in the Go community which as lead to me thinking about them a lot lately. In thinking about generics, my mind instinctively wandered to code generation because that has been my go-to tool when I do need something resembling a generic. In fact, I have written about using code generation to get by without generics in Go in the past.

SQL injection is a method used by hackers to attempt to trick your code into running arbitrary (read - REALLY BAD) queries on your database.

Learn how to use code generation to create type-safe code (like a Queue or LinkedList) without having to rewrite the same thing over and over again.

In this video we cover the stack data structure. Specifically, we talk about how they relate to the real world and then we discuss how to implement a stack using Go.

In this video we cover what a queue is, how it relates to lines (like at the grocery store) in the real world, and how to implement a Queue in Go.

Join the discussion on Reddit I started the Let's Learn Algorithms series originally by writing tutorials that would: Teach how an algorithm works Demonstrate how to implement that algorithm in code Provide some practice problems so you can get real practice implementing the algorithm in different scenarios (2) and (3) are in my opinion incredibly important pieces to the puzzle that are often missing in many other courses, so I really try to give them just as much focus as the initial lesson that just teaches how the algorithm works.
