More About This Textbook

Overview

Programming in Go" provides a complete introduction to the Go programming language. Go is the most exciting new mainstream language to appear for at least fifteen years and is the first language aimed squarely at twenty-first century multicore computers---and their programmers. The book covers all of Go's clean and easy to understand syntax and its built-in arrays, maps, slices, and Unicode strings. The book explains Go's unusual and flexible approach to object-orientation that favors efficiency and lighting fast build times, as well as showing how to use Go's goroutines and channels for concurrent programming without the burdens of bookkeeping and memory management that other languages impose. "Programming in Go" will get you started with Go---and provide a valuable reference once you get going.

    Go is awesome

    Unfortunately how author describes things is extremely boring... but Go is awesome and author seems like to understand it but cant really explain it or understand how exactly it is so exciting, maybe because he is not a real programmer or people he writes for wouldnt understand anyways.
