+# 2018 Advent of Code solutions
+
+This year, I'll be getting some [golang](https://golang.org/) practice.
+
+Running these solutions requires **golang 1.11** or newer to build. If your
+distribution doesn't offer a new enough version, running in docker is as easy as:
+
+```
+docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/go/src/ -w /go/src golang:1.11 go build dayXX-X.go
+```
