Unlock Go’s unique perspective on program design, and start writing simple, maintainable, and testable Go code.

In Go by Example you will learn how to
Write idiomatic and easy-to-maintain Go programs from scratch
Test Go according to best practices
Spot common Go anti-patterns
Create practical Go packages and applications
Design and organize Go code and programs
Understand what makes Go different from other languages

Go by Example is a practical guide to writing high-quality code that’s easy to test and maintain. The book is full of best practices to adopt and anti-patterns to dodge. It explores what makes Go so dramatically different from other languages and how you can still leverage your existing skills into writing excellent Go code. Aimed at Go beginners looking to graduate to serious Go development, this book will help you write and test command line applications, web API clients and servers, concurrent programs, and more.

about the technology
Writing well-designed Go code takes more than just porting across skills you’ve learned in other languages. You’ll need to understand Go’s unique way of working to ensure your programs don’t spiral out of control. This book is the perfect primer on Go’s hidden mechanics that will help you code more effective Go.

about the book
Go by Example teaches you to write well-designed and maintainable code in Go. By concentrating on Go’s unique characteristics, you’ll learn how to stop fighting against the language and start delivering idiomatic code that’s simple, adaptable, and testable. You’ll learn how to deliver applications and how to extend code with robust testing. Easy-to-understand visualizations and step-by-step examples help explain Go’s complexities without oversimplification.

To get the most benefit from this book, you’ll need to be an experienced developer with an intermediate knowledge of testing in any language. You may be new to Go, but knowing the basics will help along the way. As I write this, there’s no book yet on testing in Go, but there’s a growing need for developers. Go is a young language, and hundreds of thousands of developers from other programming languages come to Go every year. If you’re one of them, you may be wondering how to transfer your existing knowledge of other languages, particularly when it comes to testing. This book will teach you how to implement practical, real-life Go projects with tests from scratch. I’ll be showing you different testing approaches—what to do, what not to do, and when and why you should use a particular method using real-life, practical examples you might encounter in the workplace.

about the reader
For programmers who have learned the basics of Go.
