To get the most out of this book

You need to have a basic understanding of the Go language and a running Go development environment for your operating system. This book does not rely on any other third-party tools or libraries. Use the code editor you are most comfortable with. All examples and code samples can be built and run using the Go build system.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
