Go by Example (Manning)

Go is known for its simplicity, pragmatism, and power—but truly mastering it means more than just learning the syntax.
That’s where Go by Example (Manning Publications) comes in. This book helps you go beyond the basics to embrace the “Go mindset”, teaching you how to write clean, idiomatic, and highly maintainable code through real-world, hands-on examples.

Go is known for its simplicity, pragmatism, and power—but truly mastering it means more than just learning the syntax.
That’s where Go by Example (Manning Publications) comes in. This book helps you go beyond the basics to embrace the “Go mindset”, teaching you how to write clean, idiomatic, and highly maintainable code through real-world, hands-on examples.

What you’ll learn in Go by Example:

  • Understand what makes Go different and adopt its philosophy for clear, pragmatic code
  • Write idiomatic programs that are robust, testable, and efficient
  • Avoid common Go mistakes and follow proven patterns for better software design
  • Structure packages and APIs for readability and maintainability
  • Harness Go’s unique concurrency model to build fast, scalable applications

What you’ll build:
:laptop: Command-line tools
:globe_with_meridians: Web services
:high_voltage: Scalable concurrent programs

Go was the language of choice behind Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform for a reason. With Go by Example, you’ll see first-hand how its simplicity and powerful tooling can help you build elegant, high-quality applications—fast.

I wanted to learn Go, but Go 2.0 possibly being dead, I decided to stay away.

Thank you for your reply. It’s an ongoing topic.

Here’s what the Go blog said about it in 2023:
“Go 2, in the sense of breaking with the past and no longer compiling old programs, is never going to happen. Go 2, in the sense of being the major revision of Go 1 we started toward in 2017, has already happened.”

You can find the whole article here: https://go.dev/blog/compat

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
