Description

The Go Workshop will take the pain out of learning the Go programming language (also known as Golang). It is designed to teach you to be productive in building real-world software. Presented in an engaging, hands-on way, this book focuses on the features of Go that are used by professionals in their everyday work. Each concept is broken down, clearly explained, and followed up with activities to test your knowledge and build your practical skills. Your first steps will involve mastering Go syntax, working with variables and operators, and using core and complex types to hold data. Moving ahead, you will build your understanding of programming logic and implement Go algorithms to construct useful functions. As you progress, you'll discover how to handle errors, debug code to troubleshoot your applications, and implement polymorphism using interfaces. The later chapters will then teach you how to manage files, connect to a database, work with HTTP servers and REST APIs, and make use of concurrent programming. Throughout this Workshop, you'll work on a series of mini projects, including a shopping cart, a loan calculator, a working hours tracker, a web page counter, a code checker, and a user authentication system. By the end of this book, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to tackle your own ambitious projects with Go.

Who is this book for?

The Go Workshop is designed for anyone who is new to Go. Whether you're beginning your journey as an aspiring developer, or are experienced with another programming language and want to branch out to something new, this book will get you on the right track. No prior programming experience is necessary.

What you will learn

Understand Go syntax and use it to handle data and write functions

Great Book

Subscriber review

This book walks you through the basics of Go all the way up to some of the advanced concepts. You will learn the Go programming language and have projects that you have built by the end of this book. The projects are fun the writing style is very easy to understand and helps to solidify the concepts taught.If you are looking for a way to learn Go and learn it well I highly recommend this book.

The Go Workshop packs a comprehensive language course into its 680 pages (not counting the appendix). Starting from scratch, the reader is taken step-by-step through all of the important topics related to Go development. Structural topics like memory management, pointers, and concurrency/deferral are covered and the entire book is example-based, so those who like to use existing code as starting points for their own projects have a lot from which to choose. Extensive discussion of relevant material like JSON and CSV import/export, web server and client development, and timestamp handling rounds out the book.A few things could be improved. Infrequent but widely-distributed typos may leave you scratching your head over what the example code is trying to tell you. There’s a lot of “We’ll cover this topic later, but we’re using it now” type of thing, which may be unavoidable in an example-based work. Finally, there are links to each of the examples (the solutions to which are in the appendix) but there are no links from the examples back to the referring material, so one needs to record one’s location before checking out the answers.Overall, the Go Workshop offers a solid introduction to the Go language, and it really shines when used as an adjunct to a more traditional textbook; the combination far surpasses what either alone can provide.

Well written book with great examples. Must buy

I cant appreciate enough about the effort the authors has put in, The book does what is exactly says. It takes you from a very rudimentary level to a very advanced level. I personally never understood interfaces, lets not talk about empty interfaces{}. not only this book helped me understand it, Now i can even teach others confidently.What this book does best that very few book does, it never guess reader's understanding of Go and try to explain things as if reader knows nothing.The exercise challenges are neither too difficult, nor too easy. But each exercise is a build up from previous. So it cements your understanding.The Database, time, interfaces, http chapters were the best i've ever come across. It does not only starts with very basic but also teaches you advanced stuff, you can use in real life. it even teaches you how to write your application to protect from SQL injection. this book deserve a 5 out of 5 just for these chapters alone.I actually got this from packt portal, i wanted to write a review there, I did not see any option there, so i wrote it here.
