Getting Started
To acquire the skeleton code, run git pull staff master
in your personal repo and a new directory hw6
should appear. The portion of the homework will be in hw6/tpc
.

First, in your VM, install Python gRPC bindings with the following commands:
Learning Go
The level at which you need to understand go to complete this topic is not very deep. But still, you should know how variable assignment, interfaces, structs, functions, conditionals, etc work. I recommend taking a look at GoByExample to learn syntax. You need to understand at least the following sections:
"Hello World" through "Multiple Return Values"
"Recursion" - "Channel Buffering"
Professor Culler wrote his own tutorial for learning Go just for this class. It does a very good job of explaining features of the language and I would highly recommend it.
Go Commands
go test -mod vendor <dir>
: Runs the unit tests in dir
. Leaving the directory empty runs it in the current directory. Replacing the directory with ./...
runs it in all sub directories.
gofmt -l -w pkg/
: run this in the hw6
directory to format all Go files in the homework. The auto-grader will refuse to run unless your Go files are formatted correctly.
go build -o tpc -mod vendor main.go
: Run this command to build the KV store and output as a binary called tpc
.
