Key benefits

A highly practical guide filled with numerous examples unleashing the power of design patterns with Go.
Discover an introduction of the CSP concurrency model by explaining GoRoutines and channels.
Get a full explanation, including comprehensive text and examples, of all known GoF design patterns in Go.

Description

Go is a multi-paradigm programming language that has built-in facilities to create concurrent applications. Design patterns allow developers to efficiently address common problems faced during developing applications. Go Design Patterns will provide readers with a reference point to software design patterns and CSP concurrency design patterns to help them build applications in a more idiomatic, robust, and convenient way in Go. The book starts with a brief introduction to Go programming essentials and quickly moves on to explain the idea behind the creation of design patterns and how they appeared in the 90’s as a common "language" between developers to solve common tasks in object-oriented programming languages. You will then learn how to apply the 23 Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns in Go and also learn about CSP concurrency patterns, the "killer feature" in Go that has helped Google develop software to maintain thousands of servers. With all of this the book will enable you to understand and apply design patterns in an idiomatic way that will produce concise, readable, and maintainable software.

Who is this book for?

The target audience is both beginner- and advanced-level developers in the Go programming language. No knowledge of design patterns is expected.

What you will learn

All basic syntax and tools needed to start coding in Go
Encapsulate the creation of complex objects in an idiomatic way in Go
Create unique instances that cannot be duplicated within a program
Understand the importance of object encapsulation to provide clarity and maintainability
Prepare cost-effective actions so that different parts of the program aren't affected by expensive tasks
Deal with channels and GoRoutines within the Go context to build concurrent application in Go in an idiomatic way

Ogni pattern e' accompagnato da una serie di test. Non e' un libro sul TDD, quindi non si trovano tutti gli step della metodologia. Anzi, ... ci si concentra sopratutto sul design pattern. Mi sembra un ottimo testo. Sono solo ai primi capitoli ma mi sento gia' in dovere di consigliarlo. Mi hanno parlato di questo libro sullo slack ufficiale di go, nel canale #italy. Credo sia poco pubblicizzato, e che valga ogni singolo centesimo speso per acquistarlo.

The book is a good attempt at explaining the Gang of Four patterns using GO. Its main problem is the code examples; which are riddled with inconsistencies and errors. I would have given it a higher rating if this was not the case. The code examples that are supplied by Packt (the publisher) for download are correct though. It seems to me that the book was a rush job and it might have done with the editor giving it "the once over" before publishing. Great potential, hopefully fixed by 2nd edition.

This book falls into the category of other poorly written OOP design programming books. It is riddled with errors and lacks a lot of reasoning and examples for each pattern. The examples used in the book are also the tragic abstract examples that have zero real world use. Instead of describing how a a design pattern could be used, it uses examples with objects Cars, or Tshirts which have fields like NumWheels, or Size. All of it is useless outside of the poor example in the bookOn the subject of patterns. The patterns presented are just the Gang of Four OOP patterns which are shoehorned into the Go language. They are not go idiomatic and a lot of the examples should not be used to write idiomatic code. If you are just learning Go this book does a poor job of describing the language and also teaches you how to be a OOP/Java programmer in a different language

I just started reading the book and the largest part of examples are wrong... variables declared and not used (the intent was to call other variables), dublicate arguments call, function values return not specified.... Did they just try the code they wrote? I have doubts about it. One start because you cannot deliver a product like this. The star is for the author and for Packt too
