This is a thick book, but good for examples and historical context.- I like how the books starts out with solid examples and a learn by example approach- I appreciate the author mentioning his personal preference, and explains why. This shows how opinion-based writing works well for memory and learning- implementing simple versions of traditional UNIX utilities.- the book is organized very well which makes it easy to use for reference as well as for reading from cover to cover- the philosophy and history or golang was really interesting to read about- The exercises at the end of the chapter were really helpful for driving home the concepts.- it drives home the concepts with examples, which is good since you need to see it in real life before you can really understandMy favorite chapter was chapter 12. I would recommend this book. Still not sure why garbage collection is relegated to the appendix, but that's ok.

This is a well-organized book from start to finish. I've been programming in Go since 2018 and was still able to learn more about Go. The newest chapters in this book include Generics and Fuzz & Testing. These are excellent, especially the Generics chapter. The author gives the reader insightful explanations and examples. I also appreciate that the book has also kept up with the latest versions of Go.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
