To get the most out of this book
This book is in no way a Go or Python tutorial. You should be familiar with these languages before getting started. This will lower the mental load of having to learn both Protobuf and another programming language. I recommend you learn a bit of Go (see https://go.dev/learn/) since most of the code is in this language.
