Key benefits

Get up to date with Go and write code capable of delivering massive world-class scale performance and availability
Learn to apply the nuances of the Go language, and get to know the open source community that surrounds it to implement a wide range of start-up quality projects
Write interesting and clever but simple code, and learn skills and techniques that are directly transferrable to your own projects

Description

Go is the language of the Internet age, and the latest version of Go comes with major architectural changes. Implementation of the language, runtime, and libraries has changed significantly. The compiler and runtime are now written entirely in Go. The garbage collector is now concurrent and provides dramatically lower pause times by running in parallel with other Go routines when possible. This book will show you how to leverage all the latest features and much more. This book shows you how to build powerful systems and drops you into real-world situations. You will learn to develop high quality command-line tools that utilize the powerful shell capabilities and perform well using Go's in-built concurrency mechanisms. Scale, performance, and high availability lie at the heart of our projects, and the lessons learned throughout this book will arm you with everything you need to build world-class solutions. You will get a feel for app deployment using Docker and Google App Engine. Each project could form the basis of a start-up, which means they are directly applicable to modern software markets.

This book was just the tonic I needed in my Go journey. You've learned the language, you've started to solve problems, but you are not quite sure which way to skin that cat. This book is the logical step in that journey. I'm only 30% through and I already have plenty of ideas how to refactor what I've done and how to be more productive in some projects I'm starting imminently.

I am a new comer to the world of Go. When I started learning, there was not so much material that provides you this in-depth knowledge of concepts. I felt this gap, after learning the basic syntax, and having a foundation of how things work in Go.Go Programming Blueprints covered this gap for me, after learning the basics of Go from the different resources, this book helped me take a step further and understand and see things from a different perspective.You can hack your way into Go from different tutorials, but this book gives you a structured approach and makes sure you grasp many of the concepts that you might miss, specially if you are new to programming.This book is a must have, if you want a solid understanding of Go.

I really love this book, I'm new in Go language but the Author it takes the time to explain each example, also you can get feedback creating a new issue on Github repo and the important think is you will learn the cutting edge technologies that the author offers.Ready to start the third chapter.

Awesome Go Book targeted for intermediate developers in another language. I couldn't be more happier when I read this book, exactly what I needed. Plus the accompanying blog post is also a nice touch for updated knowledge.If your new to Golang, I suggest reading the book: The Go Programming Language

All of my books on Go are good to great, this one is great, precise concise and clear language denotes, I think, a superior grasp of the topic - which lets face it, is, for most of us, abstract. This book is packed (no pun intended) with insight. Thank you Mat, appreciate the care given.... Seems that Go libraries are progressing rapidly and best practice today is different to what it was a year or two back. This book appears to be a little more up to date than my others. Thanks again.
