Creating gui application with golang something nightmare before sometime[ until i found sciter sdk wrapper for Golang] for me. There is very less amount of resource available for go-sciter. So I am sharing this examples to give some contribution to create resource.
No one is perfect in this world, so how one can create perfect things. Program written by me may be written in some another[ far better ] way. If you found something like that please make a pull request. I will be happy to review and merge it. I have explained almost all program listed below on my blog link to my blog
