go-holiday-calculations

This is a test bed Go Language program for calculating holidays in various countries, loading them into a struct() and then marshalling out the data in:

• json
• bson
• yaml
• xml

Intent

To be a learning platform for myself to explore advanced Go functionality while updating some old Java code I wrote back in late 1997, early 1998 for Java World ( http://www.javaworld.com/article/2077543/learn-java/java-tip-44--calculating-holidays-and-their-observances.html )

Features

• struct() creation and population
• multithreading of calculations using waitGroups
• marshalling data from the struct into files

To do

• break code up into packages
• Finish some country holiday claculations
• Beef up error processing
• Allow input to change the default input directory from "X:\go\output"
• Re-Architect the code since Go does not support constructor methods.
