Neuware - Build real Go programs from day one, with AI as a sharper way to learnGo is built for clear, reliable software, but getting started can feel like being dropped into the middle of someone else's workflow. Commands, compiler errors, packages, tests, and web examples all appear fast. A Simple Guide to Go gives you a practical route through the noise, taking you from your first Golang file to working programs you can run, test, change, and explain.Written for students, junior software engineers, and curious hobbyists, this book assumes computer confidence but no previous Go experience. You will learn the toolchain, write clean programs, organise growing code, handle errors, and build towards projects that feel real: a command-line tool, JSON and HTTP examples, and a guided service project that pulls the core ideas together.You will also learn how to use AI coding assistants with discipline and confidence. Instead of letting AI hide the hard parts, you will use it to explain unfamiliar code, unpack compiler messages, suggest test cases, compare design choices, and pressure-test your thinking while Go's tools and fundamentals stay in charge.The pace is careful, but never passive. Each concept appears in context, then comes alive through small examples you can type, run, break, fix, and improve. Rather than treating Go as a dry list of features, the book connects the language to the habits working developers rely on every day: formatting code, reading errors, checking assumptions, testing behaviour, and improving programs step by step.Inside, you will learn how to: - Set up Go, check your toolchain, and use commands that support real development- Write useful programs with packages, imports, functions, variables, constants, and basic types- Make decisions, repeat work, organise data, and understand Go's core type patterns through beginner-friendly mental models- Handle errors clearly, clean up resources with defer, and know when panic is the wrong tool- Structure growing projects with modules, packages, imports, and practical dependency habits- Write table-driven tests, read documentation with go doc, and build habits shaped by idiomatic Go- Create a command-line tool, work with files and flags, and test behaviour without fragile setup- Build a JSON/HTTP service with validation, clear responses, tests, and a safe first look at concurrencyBy the end, Go programming will feel less like a wall of syntax and more like a toolkit you can reach for. You will have built a tested foundation, completed practical projects, and gained a smarter way to keep learning with AI support. If you want to learn Go in a way that fits today's AI-enabled workflow without skipping real understanding, this book gives you a confident place to start.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
