Install Go Language and Lite IDE on Ubuntu

Note: I’m not moving to Another world. Still C# and ASP.NET is my bread and butter.

Recently I have installed Ubuntu as Virtual OS in Oracle Virtual Box. This was one of first exposure I got Linux base operating system.  Earlier I have used Linux when I was doing my masters as part of their curriculum.  So far I am having fun Ubuntu and other Linux base operating system has come far.

After installing Linux, I thought why should I try some other language which is completely different then which I am working right now. This make me Polyglot  programmer and I could learn something from trying a new language and so I gone through various language and choose Go language.

Why Go Language?

Here are the reasons why I have choose to learn GO programming language.

• It’s backed by Google so will not go away near future.
• High performance :  Makers of Go language claims that it will perform as fast C and C++ language.
• Fairly easy language to run.
• Statically typed just like C#.
• It has Garbase collection so I don’t have to worry about memory management like C and C++
• Concurrency is in built

To know more about go language you can visit following site. It has got ton of resources.

Setting up development environment for ASP.NET 5(vNext) on Ubuntu

I am really enjoying working on Ubuntu. In previous post, We have learn how to install Sublime Text and in this blog post we are going to learn how we can setup development environment for ASP.NET 5(vNext). So what we are waiting for let’s go.

Note: First thing you need to make sure that Python 3.0 or higher version is installed. I have installed latest version of Ubuntu which already has Python preinstalled.

Setting up package manager control:

The first thing you need to is to install/setup package manager control. To Install package control, We need to go from View- > Show console menu. It will load package control. You need to run following command from the console. It will install the package manager control.

import urllib.request,os,hashlib;
h = '2deb499853c4371624f5a07e27c334aa' + 'bf8c4e67d14fb0525ba4f89698a6d7e1';
pf = 'Package Control.sublime-package'; 
ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path();
urllib.request.install_opener( urllib.request.build_opener( urllib.request.ProxyHandler()) );
by = urllib.request.urlopen( 'http://packagecontrol.io/' + pf.replace(' ', '%20')).read(); dh = hashlib.sha256(by).hexdigest(); print('Error validating download (got %s instead of %s),
please try manual install' % (dh, h)) if dh != h else open(os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write(by)

You can also copy this command from the this url- https://packagecontrol.io/installation

As we all know Microsoft has recently launched ASP.NET 5 and Microsoft has made announcement that it will work on any version of Linux and OSx. So in this post we are going to learn how we can use ASP.NET 5 on Ubuntu.

Installing Ubuntu on Oracle Virtual Box:

As I don’t have spare computer where I can install Ubuntu so that I’m going to install it on Oracle Virtual Box. If you don’t know about Virtual Box then it it a powerful x86 and AMD/Intel 64  virtualization product for enterprise or home box. It is freely available as GNU Licence.

You can find more about  Oracle Virtual Box here- https://www.virtualbox.org/

There are few things you to consider before going this route.

• You need to first make sure that your computer supports virtualization or not. There are some utilities available for that like Intel processor identification utility – You can download from the here- https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=7838. It will tell you whether your processor supports Virtualization or not.

• After checking whether your processor supports virtualization, you need to enable virtualization from Bios. That is different as per your Processor and you can learn how you can enable virtualization on your pc via searching on internet.
• Make sure you have at least 4 GB ram to run this virtual OS smoothly. If you less RAM then it will work but thing will be slow.
