Programming in Go brings together all the knowledge you need to evaluate Go, think in Go, and write high-performance software with Go. Summerfield presents multiple idiom comparisons showing exactly how Go improves upon older languages, calling special attention to Go’s key innovations. Along the way, he explains everything from the absolute basics through Go’s lock-free channel-based concurrency and its flexible and unusual duck-typing type-safe approach to object-orientation.

The Go Programming Language is the authoritative resource for any programmer who wants to learn Go. Alan A. A. Donovan and Brian W.

Presented in an engaging, hands-on way, this book focuses on the features of Go that are used by professionals in their everyday work.

Go is rapidly becoming the preferred language for building web services. While there are plenty of tutorials available that teach Go's syntax to developers with experience in other programming languages, tutorials aren't enough. They don't teach Go's idioms, so developers end up recreating patterns that don't make sense in a Go context. This practical guide provides the essential background you need to write clear and idiomatic Go.

All this will make coding in your day job or side projects easier, faster, and more fun.

The Go ecosystem is helping developers to build distributed and scalable systems efficiently. If you plan to jump into this fascinating world, you must know how Go can help you to build REST APIs, use SQL/NoSQL databases, data streaming platforms, gRPC, design your own CLIs, or how to log your programs efficiently just to mention a few. Build Systems with GO: Everything a Gopher Must Know is split into two blocks: the first explores the Go language and its standard library, the second one provides the reader with examples and explanations of the most powerful libraries to be used in any Go development. With more than 200 detailed and straight-forward examples available at GitHub, this book helps early adopters and experienced developers to have a real view of what a system built with Go looks like.

This is the 3rd edition of Mastering Go. There exist many exciting new topics in this latest edition including writing RESTful services, working with the Websocket protocol, using GitHub Actions and GitLab Actions for Go projects as well as an entirely new chapter on Generics and the development of lots of practical utilities.

The book begins with an introduction to Go data structures and algorithms. You'll learn how to store data using linked lists, arrays, stacks, and queues. Moving ahead, you'll discover how to implement sorting and searching algorithms, followed by binary search trees. This book will also help you improve the performance of your applications by stringing data types and implementing hash structures in algorithm design. Finally, you'll be able to apply traditional data structures to solve real-world problems. By the end of the book, you'll have become adept at implementing classic data structures and algorithms in Go, propelling you to become a confident Go programmer.

You will learn how to generate WebAssembly applications with GoLang and run WebAssembly in your browser and out of your browser.

This e-book comprises 23 complete recipes with the code examples necessary to reproduce these recipes:

• Wasm & Go in your browser
• Wasm & Go with Node.js
• WasmEdge & Go
• Wasm in the Cloud: Do you know Atmo?

Generative art is a unique form of artistic expression, building bridges between computer programming, randomness, and visual aesthetics.

This short book will introduce novice and experienced Go programmers to the beautiful world of algorithmic art and computer graphics. If you are looking for new areas to apply your favorite language, go check it out!
