Need to learn Go? Need to upskill your Go-fu capabilities? And of course, we are talking about the Go programming language and not the antique game from China. This is a comprehensive book covering all aspects of GO programming. Highlights some of the challenges, suggests tips and tricks, and offers sample. Recommend as a reference for anyone working on Go applications, or just in need of a tuneup. This will seem like a long book (600+ pages) but much of that space is taken up by the extensive coding samples.

I'm so impressed with this book—it's incredibly comprehensive, taking you from beginner to professional. It starts with the basics and progresses to creating HTTP services and command line interfaces, two very common uses of Golang. The numerous examples reinforce your understanding of each topic, making the learning curve much easier to manage. This book stands out not only because it uses the latest version of Golang, but also because Samantha has broken down each topic in a way that's easy to digest. If you're looking for one book to learn Golang, I highly recommend this one!
