content: rename articles to reinforce convention of short URLs
The Go blog started out on Blogger
(http://web.archive.org/web/20100325005843/http://blog.golang.org/).
Later, we moved to the current self-hosted blog server
with extra Go-specific functionality like playground snippets.
The old Blogger posts have very long URLs that Blogger chose
for us, such as "go-programming-language-turns-two" or
"two-go-talks-lexical-scanning-in-go-and", predating
the convention of giving posts shorter, more share-friendly,
typeable names.
The conversion of the old Blogger posts also predated
the convention of putting supporting files in a subdirectory.
The result is that although we've established new conventions,
you wouldn't know by listing the directory - the old Blogger
content presents a conflicting picture.
This commit renames the posts with very long names
to have shorter, more share-friendly names, and it moves
all supporting files to subdirectories. It also adds a README
documenting the conventions.
For example, blog.golang.org/go-programming-language-turns-two
is now blog.golang.org/2years, matching our more recent birthday
post URLs, and its supporting files are moved to the new 2years/ directory.
The old URLs redirect to the new ones.

Supported providers include AWS RDS and Google Cloud SQL. + - We are also working on a document storage API (e.g. MongoDB, DynamoDB, Firestore). + +## Feedback + +We hope you're as excited about the Go CDK as we are -- check out our [godoc](https://godoc.org/gocloud.dev), +walk through our [tutorial](https://github.com/google/go-cloud/tree/master/samples/tutorial), +and use the Go CDK in your application(s). +We'd love to hear your ideas for other APIs and API providers you'd like to see. + +If you're digging into Go CDK please share your experiences with us: + + - What went well? + - Were there any pain points using the APIs? + - Are there any features missing in the API you used? + - Suggestions for documentation improvements. + +To send feedback, you can: + + - Submit issues to our public [GitHub repository](https://github.com/google/go-cloud/issues/new/choose). + - Email [go-cdk-feedback@google.com](mailto:go-cdk-feedback@google.com). + - Post to our [public Google group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/go-cloud). + +Thanks! |
