An example of how to get documentation can be the 'println()' function inside fmt.

Due to complete BumperCourse step 11 you will need Go HTML parser package, you can get it doing:

Tutorials-Modifications

Some tutorials have outdated steps which can make the tutorial impossible to test or learn. In this cases, I added some modifications trying to adapt the tutorial aim into an updated version of it. Hope you can take advantage of it!

1. Tutorial: BumperCourse from Sentdex.
   Modifications on step 11:
   1. Changed XML parsing to HTML parsing.

   3. Using new package: package html
   4. Removed structs: SitemapIndex and Location.
   5. Added structs: Link.
