In order to really test my sorting algorithms, I needed to have a long, complex list of items. All of the hackathon events have very unique names, so it would be perfect to use. I used goquery to retrieve all of the event names from the website and stored them in a list to be sorted. This was challenging since I'm still very new to golang and I've only done web scraping once with python. I learned how go does not use lists, but instead splices of an array.
