+# GO-LEARN
+
+Scripts provided by [Go By Example](https://gobyexample.com/), but augmented by me. The purpose of this repo is to provide a starting point for those completely new to GO, but not completely new to programming. 
+
+My augmentations are largely just attempts to apply the lesson in more complicated ways, or using different data types. Feel free to add your own examples.
