The Complete Guide to Go Programming
“My first contact with Go was eye-opening. At a glance, it looked like one of the simplest languages I had ever seen. But the more I explored, the more I understood that Go is a language with strong opinions about how software should be built. Its simplicity is deliberate. This book teaches you to see that.”
