Key benefits

  • Develop applications for different domains using modern programming techniques
  • Tackle common problems when it comes to parallelism, concurrency, and reactive programming in Go
  • Work with ready-to-execute code based on the latest version of Go

Description

Go (or Golang) is a statically typed programming language developed at Google. Known for its vast standard library, it also provides features such as garbage collection, type safety, dynamic-typing capabilities, and additional built-in types. This book will serve as a reference while implementing Go features to build your own applications. This Go cookbook helps you put into practice the advanced concepts and libraries that Golang offers. The recipes in the book follow best practices such as documentation, testing, and vendoring with Go modules, as well as performing clean abstractions using interfaces. You'll learn how code works and the common pitfalls to watch out for. The book covers basic type and error handling, and then moves on to explore applications, such as websites, command-line tools, and filesystems, that interact with users. You'll even get to grips with parallelism, distributed systems, and performance tuning. By the end of the book, you'll be able to use open source code and concepts in Go programming to build enterprise-class applications without any hassle.

Who is this book for?

If you're a web developer, programmer, or enterprise developer looking for quick solutions to common and not-so-common problems in Go programming, this book is for you. Basic knowledge of the Go language is assumed.

What you will learn

  • Work with third-party Go projects and modify them for your use
  • Write Go code using modern best practices
  • Manage your dependencies with the new Go module system
  • Solve common problems encountered when dealing with backend systems or DevOps
  • Explore the Go standard library and its uses
  • Test, profile, and fine-tune Go applications

This textbook distinguishes itself from other Go textbooks by explaining important fundamentals in Go (I/O operations, setting up http clients, etc.) while also providing many practical implementations of those fundamentals. Even the simpler lessons like error handling in Go have a nice practical twist to them by also including how to handle the logging of the error and what the norms are of handling long running panics. Another thing that I valued from this book were the examples of how to use some industry standard third party Go libraries and packages especially within the testing section. Having a reference guide of how to use some commonly used test runners and how to write BDD test in Go is always nice to have. All in all, this book is a great source of examples that reflect current Go industry best practices and how to write tests for those practices.

I have been using this book for reference and studying for over 3 month. This is book has very good structure to teach you every aspect of Golang language. The author also provide excellent examples for you to go through every topic. At the end of each topic, the author also gave an insight of why golang solve the a problem this way. A must have to golang programers! Highly recommend!

This is a great resource for almost any facet of Go development and a handy tool in the arsenal of the busy Go developer.Also, if you are solid in other languages and want to learn Go quickly, this book's conciseness & breadth might speed up your learning process.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
