Go Fundamentals: Gopher Guides (Paperback)

Start Writing Production-Ready Go Code Fast
Thousands of developers and teams want to start taking advantage of Go, the powerful language used in projects ranging from Kubernetes to Docker and Vault. Go Fundamentals is specifically designed to get you up-to-speed fast, to leverage your existing knowledge of other languages, and to help you avoid common mistakes made by Go newcomers.

Based on author Mark Bates's and Cory LaNou's pioneering Gopher Guides training curricula, this book will allow you to quickly understand and use Go syntax, core features, and idioms. Reflecting Go through version 1.18--which includes Go's exciting new support for generics--this book prepares you to write robust, reliable, well-performing production code right from the outset.
 

• Learn how Go manages packages, modules, and dependencies
• Apply Go basics, such as variable declaration, types, and control flow
• Work effectively with collection types, iteration, functions, structs, and pointers
• Understand Go Slices and use them properly
• Write Go, using principles such as embedding and composition
• Expertly use concurrency to improve code performance
• Create proper tests to quickly identify and fix problems
• Write simpler, better code with generics and interfaces
• Take advantage of channels, context, sync primatives, and other advanced features

Go is lightweight, simple, and perfect for modern cloud-native and microservices development, which is why Go developers are in such high demand. With this guide and six months' experience with any modern programming language, you'll have what you need to leap into Go programming.

About the Examples

We spent considerable time designing the examples in this book and our training materials to be as clear and concise as possible. We also wanted to make sure that all of the code, output, and documentation were accurate.

To ensure that all of these things are true, we used a system designed give us this accuracy. Knowing that every code snippet is from a real file, every command is actually executed, every output is exact, and every piece of documentation is up to date means we can be confident in the materials we present.

開始快速撰寫可投入生產的 Go 程式碼
數千名開發人員和團隊希望開始利用 Go，這是一種強大的語言，用於從 Kubernetes 到 Docker 和 Vault 等專案。《Go 基礎》專為讓您快速上手，利用您對其他語言的現有知識，並幫助您避免 Go 新手常犯的錯誤而設計。

本書基於作者 Mark Bates 和 Cory LaNou 的先驅 Gopher Guides 培訓課程，讓您能夠快速理解和使用 Go 的語法、核心功能和慣用法。本書反映了 Go 1.18 版本，其中包括 Go 對泛型的全新支援，讓您從一開始就能撰寫堅固、可靠、高效的生產程式碼。

• 學習 Go 如何管理套件、模組和相依性
• 應用 Go 基礎知識，如變數宣告、型別和控制流程
• 有效處理集合型別、迭代、函式、結構和指標
• 理解並正確使用 Go 切片
• 使用嵌入和組合等原則撰寫 Go 程式
• 熟練運用並行處理以提升程式效能
• 創建正確的測試以快速識別和修復問題
• 利用泛型和介面撰寫更簡潔、更優質的程式碼
• 充分利用通道、內文、同步原語和其他高級功能

Go 是輕量、簡單且非常適合現代雲原生和微服務開發，這也是為什麼 Go 開發人員如此受歡迎的原因。憑藉本指南和對任何現代程式語言的六個月經驗，您將具備進入 Go 程式設計的所需知識。

出版社的話

我們花了很多時間設計本書和培訓材料中的範例，以確保它們盡可能清晰簡潔。我們還希望確保所有的程式碼、輸出和文件都是準確無誤的。

為了確保這些都是真實的，我們使用了一個系統來確保準確性。知道每個程式碼片段都來自真實的檔案，每個命令都實際執行，每個輸出都是精確的，每個文件都是最新的，這意味著我們對所呈現的材料有信心。
