GoLang POINTERS, the Basics in Less Than 4 Minutes!

[@joshuamacmaster5758]

This video is the first time that I've understood the difference between the * and the & symbol in using pointers. I've understood what pointers are conceptually but now I understand syntactically

[@themarksmith]

You are killing it - I wanna see your channel up there with Traversy, Fireship and the others come this time next year - you will deserve it!

[@bmdavis419]

That’s high praise lol I appreciate it, time will tell, but for now I just wanna keep getting better and making useful stuff

[@ashimov1970]

Ben, I find your videos and your channel just awesome. God bless

[@lotfiabdel7942]

You're on fire!! it's awesome to watch your videos! Can you make a video on the frontend aspect of insiderviz for example? eg are you using tailwind? what's your view on that how is it like to run a business? very interested in your content

[@bmdavis419]

Yea for sure, got tons of internal stuff happening right now at insiderviz but once things stableize I want to talk more about startups and how its been so far

[@michaelangelovideos]

Awesome stuff man

[@evanoshea9506]

Thank you! Great simple explanation

[@VuxGameplays]

this was excellent, thank you.

[@ericjhuneespa3381]

can you do a video why use golang web framework instead of standard library ?. im also new in learning golang

[@bmdavis419]

Yea I will do that later this month, the 2 world answer is "its easier". They provide a lot of nice abstractions for you and make build apps quicker/easier

[@PhilipAlexanderHassialis]

Excellent minute (as in small, not as in unit of time) explanation. My only personal gripe with Go is that as soon as you get structs involved the whole syntax doesn't hold up. It kinda cheapened the conciseness of how well the language ties up together. (This, and the godawful flippin' way the treat Unicode, like, yeah, you have the Unicode guy in the team, but comeon, from a DX standpoint it's truly horrible even though it's "scientifically precise". Have your glyphs as extra man, all other languages have Unicode strings fergedsakes. From the standpoint of a developer who has to support multilingual applications, it's simply abysmal). P.S. don't let that detract you though, your videos are killing it and please be Go's Fireship, you are right on the money.

[@ayavi22]

Hey mate where is the part 1 from your new series, not able to see in your playlist/videos section

[@bmdavis419]

Should be under live

[@matkomilic8382]

Amazing vid tbh.

[@adithyaudupa3530]

The video is great, though it could have been better by including examples using structs.

[@idjtoal]

I realise this is an old video, just wanted to comment on one thing. Using the same numbers for address locations and variable's values makes this more confusing, ? E.g. something like y := 17 and &y is 0x0023 would've been easier to follow, maybe. Nice and clear otherwise, though.

[@potaetoupotautoe7939]

the dereferencing part was badly explained. thanks for the explaination though

[@aeggeska1]

Yes. But why? Why would I ever need a reference to the memory location? Who cares about that? I only ever need the value, right?

[@bmdavis419]

Because there are a lot of times when you need to pass a variable into a function and then update it's value in the function itself
