Description

Go is rapidly becoming the preferred language for building web services. There are plenty of tutorials available that teach Go’s syntax to developers with experience in other programming languages. But tutorials aren’t enough. They don’t teach Go’s idioms, so developers end up recreating patterns that don’t make sense in a Go context. This practical guide provides the essential background you need to write clear and idiomatic Go.

No matter your level of experience, you’ll learn how to think like a Go developer. Author Jon Bodner reveals design patterns that experienced Go developers have adopted and the rationale for them. You’ll learn how to structure your project and choose the proper tools and libraries to create successful software.
