Chapter 1. Ready... Steady... Go!
Design Patterns have been the foundation for hundreds of thousands of pieces of software. Since the Gang Of Four (Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides) wrote the book Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software in 1994 with examples in C++ and Smalltalk, the twenty-three classic patterns have been re-implemented in most of major languages of today and they have been used in almost every project you know about.
The Gang of Four detected that many small architectures were present in many of their projects, they started to rewrite them in a more abstract way and they released the famous book.
This book is a comprehensive explanation and implementation of the most common design patterns from the Gang of Four and today's patterns plus some of the most idiomatic concurrency patterns in Go.
But what is Go...?
