About this title

Synopsis

Go is a language designed with the working programmer in mind. Go
offers modern features, simplicity of use, and a full-featured standard
library. Created by Google, this general purpose language can be used
for anything from small scripts to massively concurrent web services.
With Go, developers have the tools you need for rapidly building web,
cloud, and systems applications. Best of all, it doesn't take long to
become productive in Go.

Get Programming with Go introduces you to the powerful Go language
without the confusing jargon or high-level theory. By working through
over 25 quick-fire chapters, you'll quickly pick up the basics of the
innovative Go programming language! Most of the examples in this
book can be executed in the Go playground, so you don't need to worry
about setting up a practice environment. Chock-full of engaging
projects, you'll crack ancient ciphers, discover the wonders of cellular
automatons, plan a vacation on Mars, and direct rovers to gather
weather data!
