Learning Go: An Idiomatic Approach to Real-World Go Programming

by Jon Bodner (Author) Format: Paperback
4.7 out of 5 stars (192)

Purchase options and add-ons

Go has rapidly become the preferred language for building web services. Plenty of tutorials are available to 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 introduces the design patterns experienced Go developers have adopted and explores the rationale for using them. This updated edition also shows you how Go's generics support fits into the language.

This book helps you:

  • Write idiomatic code in Go and design a Go project
  • Understand the reasons behind Go's design decisions
  • Set up a Go development environment for a solo developer or team
  • Learn how and when to use reflection, unsafe, and cgo
  • Discover how Go's features allow the language to run efficiently
  • Know which Go features you should use sparingly or not at all
  • Use Go's tools to improve performance, optimize memory usage, and reduce garbage collection
  • Learn how to use Go's advanced development tools

From the Publisher

Learning Go: An Idiomatic Approach to Real-world Go Programming

From the Preface

Who Should Read This Book

This book is targeted at developers who are looking to pick up a second (or fifth) language. The focus is on people who are new to Go. This ranges from those who don’t know anything about Go other than it has a cute mascot, to those who have already worked through a Go tutorial or even written some Go code. The focus for Learning Go isn’t just how to write programs in Go; it’s how to write Go idiomatically. More experienced Go developers can find advice on how to best use the newer features of the language. The most important thing is that the reader wants to learn how to write Go code that looks like Go.

Experience is assumed with the tools of the developer trade, such as version control (preferably Git) and IDEs. Readers should be familiar with basic computer science concepts like concurrency and abstraction, as the book explains how they work in Go. Some of the code examples are downloadable from GitHub, and dozens more can be tried out online on The Go Playground. While an internet connection isn’t required, it is helpful when reviewing executable examples. Since Go is often used to build and call HTTP servers, some examples assume familiarity with basic HTTP concepts.

While most of Go’s features are found in other languages, Go makes different tradeoffs, so programs written in it have a different structure. Learning Go starts by looking at how to set up a Go development environment, and then covers variables, types, control structures, and functions. If you are tempted to skip over this material, resist the urge and take a look. It is often the details that make your Go code idiomatic. Some of what seems obvious at first glance might actually be subtly surprising when you think about it in depth.
