Go has rapidly become the preferred language for building web services. Plenty of tutorials are available to teach Go's syntax to developers with experience in other programming languages, but tutorials aren't enough. They don't teach Go's idioms, so developers end up recreating patterns that don't make sense in a Go context. This practical guide provides the essential background you need to write clear and idiomatic Go. No matter your level of experience, you'll learn how to think like a Go developer. Author Jon Bodner introduces the design patterns experienced Go developers have adopted and explores the rationale for using them. This updated edition also shows you how Go's generics support fits into the language. This book helps you: Write idiomatic code in Go and design a Go project Understand the reasons behind Go's design decisions Set up a Go development environment for a solo developer or team Learn how and when to use reflection, unsafe, and cgo Discover how Go's features allow the language to run efficiently Know which Go features you should use sparingly or not at all Use Go's tools to improve performance, optimize memory usage, and reduce garbage collection Learn how to use Go's advanced development tools Review: Great book - This is a great book for learning Go. Covers the language syntax and also includes some good practices. Recommended. Review: Great book - Great book

Great introductory reading.
Great book, seems to cover everything I was looking for including concurrency patterns and generics. The chapter on tooling was also great! This book is aimed towards people who already have a background in programming and seems to explain things in a mostly straightforward, terse manner but without skipping on detail. Very happy with purchase!

More like a reference
I found this book a bit dry to read. A bit like learning a language and going through pages of grammar. It's comprehensive, but worked examples and exercises would have made it more interesting. I had to really force myself to read this.

Bad
I did not like the book. The choice of examples used for explanation is very bad. Most of the time, an example that hasn't been studied yet is used to explain something simple, and it's always followed by "this point will be explained in the upcoming lessons!!!" I don't understand how examples from lessons that haven't been covered yet are used for clarification. Simple examples could have been given for clarification. Unfortunately, the book is bad if you want to learn the Go language.

Great intro
Great book, particularly liked that it shares information about the memory layout, garbage collection and why the code suggested is indeed idiomatic to Go. I got the book as I am picking up the language for a new project at work.

Informative and insightful
Highly recommended for someone know how to program and want to pick up Go. Not a deal breaker, but I wish it is typo-free.

Deze beoordeling gaat alleen over de "Print kwaliteit" boek is ontzettend slecht.
Deze beoordeling gaat alleen over de "Print kwaliteit" van het boek dit is ontzettend slecht. Was de inkt op? Zeker voor deze prijs inhoud moet ik nog lezen om daar een oordeel over tegeven.
