+## Go Modules
+
+-   Go projects are called **modules**
+-   Each module has multiple **packages**
+-   Each package should has a scoped functionality. Packages talk to each other to compose the code
+-   A module needs at least one package, the **main**
+-   The package main needs a entry function called **main**
+
+```bash
+# Create Module
+$ go mod init [name]
+```
+
+Tip: By convention, modules names has the follow structure:
+
+domain.com/user/module/package
+
+Example: github.com/spf13/cobra

+## Structs
+
+Structs are a way to arrange data in specific formats.
+
+```go
+// Declaring a struct
+type Person struct {
+    Name string
+    Age int
+}
+
+// Initializing
+person := Person{"John", 34}
+person.Name // "John"
+person.Age // 34
+
+person2 := Person{Age: 20}
+person2.Name // ""
+person2.Age // 20
+
+person3 := Person{}
+person3.Name // ""
+person3.Age // 0
+```

+
+## Maps
+
+Maps are data structures that holds values assigneds to a key.
+
+```go
+// Declaring a map
+var cities map[string]string
+
+// Initializing
+cities = make(map[string]string)
+cities // nil
+
+// Insert
+cities["NY"] = "EUA"
+
+// Retrieve
+newYork = cities["NY"]
+newYork // "EUA"
+
+// Delete
+delete(cities, "NY")
+
+// Check if a key is setted
+value, ok := cities["NY"]
+ok // false
+value // ""
+```

+
+## Pointers
+
+Pointers are a direct reference to a memory address that some variable or value is being stored.
+
+```go
+// Pointers has *T type
+var value int
+var pointer *int
+
+// Point to a variable memory address with &
+value = 3
+pointer = &value
+
+pointer // 3
+pointer = 20
+pointer // 20
+pointer += 5
+pointer // 25
+
+// Pointers to structs can access the attributes
+type Struct struct {
+    X int
+}
+
+s := Struct{3}
+pointer := &s
+
+s.X // 3
+```
+
+Obs: Unlike C, Go doesn't have pointer arithmetics.

+
+## Methods and Interfaces
+
+Go doesn't have classes. But you can implement methods, interfaces and almost everything contained in OOP, but in what gophers call "Go Way"
+
+```go
+type Dog struct {
+    Name string
+}
+
+func (dog *Dog) bark() string {
+    return dog.Name + " is barking!"
+}
+
+dog := Dog{"Rex"}
+dog.bark() // Rex is barking!
+```
+
+Interfaces are implicitly implemented. You don't need to inform that your struct are correctly implementing a interface if it already has all methods with the same name of the interface.
+All structs implement the `interface{}` interface. This empty interface means the same as `any`.
+
+```go
+// Car implements Vehicle interface
+type Vehicle interface {
+    Accelerate()
+}
+
+type Car struct {
+
+}
+
+func (car *Car) Accelerate() {
+    return "Car is moving on ground"
+}
+```
+
+[Return to Summary](#summary)
+
+<hr/>
+
+## Errors
+
+Go doesn't support `throw`, `try`, `catch` and other common error handling structures. Here, we use `error` package to build possible errors as a returning parameter in functions
+
+```go
+import "errors"
+
+// Function that contain a logic that can cause a possible exception flow 
+func firstLetter(text string) (string, error) {
+    if len(text) < 1 {
+        return nil, errors.New("Parameter text is empty")
+    }
+    return string(text[0]), nil
+}
+
+a, errorA := firstLetter("Wow")
+a // "W"
+errorA // nil
+
+b, errorB := firstLetter("")
+b // nil
+errorB // Error("Parameter text is empty")
+```

+
+## Testing
+
+Go has a built-in library to unit testing. In a separate file you insert tests for functionalities of a file and run `go test package` to run all tests of the actual package or `go test path` to run a specific test file.
+
+```go
+// main.go
+func Sum(x, y int) int {
+    return x + y
+}
+
+// main_test.go
+import ( 
+    "testing"
+    "reflect"
+)
+
+func TestSum(t *testing.T) {
+    x, y := 2, 4
+    expected := 2 + 4
+
+    if !reflect.DeepEqual(sum(x, y), expected) {
+        t.Fatalf("Function Sum not working as expected")
+    }
+}
+```

+
+## Concurrency
+
+One of the main parts that make Go attractive is its form to handle with concurrency. Different than parallelism, where tasks can be separated in many cores that the machine processor have, in concurrency we have routines that are more lightweight than threads and can run asynchronously, with memory sharing and in a single core.
+
+```go
+// Consider a common function, but that function can delay itself because some processing
+func show(from string) {
+	for i := 0; i < 3; i++ {
+		fmt.Printf("%s : %d\n", from, i)
+	}
+}
+
+// In a blocking way...
+func main() {
+	show("blocking1")
+	show("blocking2")
+
+	fmt.Println("done")
+}
+/*  blocking1: 0
+    blocking1: 1
+    blocking1: 2
+    blocking2: 0
+    blocking2: 1
+    blocking2: 2
+    done 
+*/
+
+// Go routines are a function (either declared previously or anonymous) called with the keyword go
+func main() {

+		fmt.Println("going")
+	}()
