# Building Slack Bots in Golang
This project demonstrates how to build a Slackbot in Golang; it uses the [slack-go](https://github.com/slack-go/slack) library and communicates with slack using the [socket mode](https://api.slack.com/apis/connections/socket).
Working on this project inspired me to write a couple of articles that you can read here or on [Medium](https://medium.com/@couedeloalexandre) (* I included friend links so you won't hit Medium Paywall)
### Slack Bot Tutorials
