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.

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!
