Key benefits

  • Build a comprehensive foundation in Go and focus on developing real-world applications
  • Explore the Go Standard Library and learn how to structure your code
  • Learn how to efficiently interact with files, databases and REST APIs

Description

The Go Workshop will take the pain out of learning the Go programming language (also known as Golang). It is designed to teach you to be productive in building real-world software. Presented in an engaging, hands-on way, this book focuses on the features of Go that are used by professionals in their everyday work. Each concept is broken down, clearly explained, and followed up with activities to test your knowledge and build your practical skills. Your first steps will involve mastering Go syntax, working with variables and operators, and using core and complex types to hold data. Moving ahead, you will build your understanding of programming logic and implement Go algorithms to construct useful functions. As you progress, you'll discover how to handle errors, debug code to troubleshoot your applications, and implement polymorphism using interfaces. The later chapters will then teach you how to manage files, connect to a database, work with HTTP servers and REST APIs, and make use of concurrent programming. Throughout this Workshop, you'll work on a series of mini projects, including a shopping cart, a loan calculator, a working hours tracker, a web page counter, a code checker, and a user authentication system. By the end of this book, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to tackle your own ambitious projects with Go.

Who is this book for?

The Go Workshop is designed for anyone who is new to Go. Whether you're beginning your journey as an aspiring developer, or are experienced with another programming language and want to branch out to something new, this book will get you on the right track. No prior programming experience is necessary.

What you will learn

  • Understand Go syntax and use it to handle data and write functions
  • Debug your Go code to troubleshoot development problems
  • Safely handle errors and recover from panics
  • Implement polymorphism by using interfaces
  • Work with files and connect to external databases
  • Create a HTTP client and server and work with a RESTful web API
  • Use concurrency to design software that can multitask
  • Use Go Tools to simplify development and improve your code

I cant appreciate enough about the effort the authors has put in, The book does what is exactly says. It takes you from a very rudimentary level to a very advanced level. I personally never understood interfaces, lets not talk about empty interfaces{}. not only this book helped me understand it, Now i can even teach others confidently.What this book does best that very few book does, it never guess reader's understanding of Go and try to explain things as if reader knows nothing.The exercise challenges are neither too difficult, nor too easy. But each exercise is a build up from previous. So it cements your understanding.The Database, time, interfaces, http chapters were the best i've ever come across. It does not only starts with very basic but also teaches you advanced stuff, you can use in real life. it even teaches you how to write your application to protect from SQL injection. this book deserve a 5 out of 5 just for these chapters alone.I actually got this from packt portal, i wanted to write a review there, I did not see any option there, so i wrote it here.

This workshop gives us the knowledge of computer science fundamentals along with the necessary examples in Go.The examples from datastructures to algorithms to packages give us a wide variety of collection which cannot found on any online free resources at this moment.Also included are the real-world engineering examples for connecting to databases, managing filesystems, Security and concurrency examples in Golang are invaluable for any readers with a basic programming skillset.Paraphrasing was done decently to make readers understand the gist of the code flow.My only complaint is that some chapters are more verbose.

This book is written for the person that has no programming experience with Go or any other language. A few other books I have bought assume the reader has some experience with C or Java and don't really explain basic things.

This what you need to study to understand how Go works and write your own code. It is tedious, but if you want to really learn a language you have to put the time in and study it. Examples all along on how to write your own modules so you can reduce the overhead and write exactly what you want. I never quite trust 3000 lines of code in anything that you download and try to decipher how it is changing your system. To me Go is something that you need to tailor for yourself.

This book walks you through the basics of Go all the way up to some of the advanced concepts. You will learn the Go programming language and have projects that you have built by the end of this book. The projects are fun the writing style is very easy to understand and helps to solidify the concepts taught.If you are looking for a way to learn Go and learn it well I highly recommend this book.
