## What it is
Go by Example is a hands-on tutorial site that teaches the Go programming language through annotated example programs, covering topics from basic syntax to goroutines, channels, and HTTP servers. This repository contains the example content and the Go-based build toolchain that renders the site into a static public directory.

## Use cases
- learn go programming from annotated examples
- find example code for goroutines and channels
- reference for go standard library usage
- self-host a static go tutorial site
- study go idioms like error handling and concurrency
- build a documentation site from annotated source files

## When to choose
- you are learning Go and want concise, runnable examples with explanations
- you need a quick reference for common Go patterns like channels, mutexes, or JSON handling
- you want to self-host or translate the tutorial content
- you prefer example-driven learning over long-form documentation

## When to avoid
- you need comprehensive Go language reference documentation rather than examples
- you are looking for a Go library or framework to use in production code
- you need interactive exercises or a structured course with assessments
- you require documentation for a specific Go framework or third-party library
