The bufio package

As the name suggests, the bufio package is about buffered input and output. However, the bufio package still uses (internally) the io.Reader and io.Writer objects, which it wraps in order to create the bufio.Reader and bufio.Writer objects, respectively. As you will see in the forthcoming sections, the bufio package is very popular for reading text files.

Go Systems Programming

Go Systems Programming

Go is a modern systems programming language, which allows the creation of systems applications and modules just above any kernel, e.g. Linux, and container, e.g. Docker. This book explains thread-safe and concurrent Go, and goes into writing server, cloud and systems-level applications. No more C style memory management, for instance. If you want to write a fast, efficient, concurrent data science application, knowing Go's concurrency model is very helpful as well. This book gives the reader cross-platform systems-level programming skills, at a time when systems range from IoT devices to gigantic server farms. Enjoy.
