This page is intended to be an assembly of pages relating to GoCV development materials. Pages/guides we found that helped us are present here; the more documentation and guides we put here, the more quickly newcomers will adjust to working in GoCV.

• GoCV Main Page
  This site provides a guide on how to install GoCV on a Windows, macOS, or Linux device. It also features multiple example programs, including face detection, deep neural network use to track objects or faces, and motion detection. Further included is a link to its GoDoc, providing Go documentation on functions in GoCV. https://gocv.io/

• Go by Example
  This website goes over different aspects of programming with example code for each. One can follow the examples by entering them into their own computer and modifying the code, allowing one to get a better understanding of what these functions are doing. Relevant to this program, it spans basics from for loops, conditional statements, and data structures to deferring, goroutines, and channels. https://gobyexample.com/

• Go Documentation
  This official documentation can be used alongside Go by Example to learn about programming in Go. It covers much of the same content as Go by Example, but where Go by Example emphasizes examples, the Golang documentation provides more in-depth explanations. That's not to say this page includes examples as well; including both of these resources provides multiple means by which one can learn these materials. https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html

• OpenCV Documentation
  This page is the nightly version of OpenCV's documentation. It describes the different main and additional modules in OpenCV while also providing tutorials for installing and working with it in C++, Python, and JavaScript. While there are not sections for working in Go with this, many of the functions in these modules share similarities with those in GoCV since the latter is based on the former. Thus, this is an ideal source to consult if GoCV's GoDoc seems lacking in some places. https://docs.opencv.org/master/

• W3Schools
  This site proves especially helpful when working on HTML and CSS for the front end; linked are the two pages pertinent to them. It can provide a quick reference if one needs help working on the frontend, and it can help with working on block and inline elements, style sheets, and JavaScript integration. https://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp https://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

• Codecademy
  This guide helps with learning JavaScript, which is essential for working on the front end. It can help with using functions, variables, and listeners, which can be linked to different objects created on the page such as buttons. https://www.codecademy.com/learn/introduction-to-javascript
