Go Cookbook

More about the book

Bridge the gap between basic understanding of Go and its advanced features with a collection of recipes and approaches for developing modern back-end applications. This resource is designed for web developers, programmers, and enterprise developers with a basic knowledge of Go, although prior experience in back-end development is not required. Learn to test applications using advanced methodologies, understand application structures, interface design, and tooling. Create strategies for managing third-party packages, dependencies, and vendoring. Discover techniques for handling data collections, managing errors effectively, and wrapping dependencies in interfaces to enhance portability and testing. Explore reactive programming design patterns in Go. Go, a statically-typed programming language developed at Google, builds on C with features like garbage collection, type safety, and a large standard library. This guide extends beyond basic tutorials, allowing you to apply advanced concepts and libraries while avoiding common pitfalls. It covers essential topics such as type and error handling, user-interactive applications, parallelism, distributed systems, and performance tuning, concluding with reactive and serverless programming. This guide serves as a handy reference for developers to quickly access Go development patterns, complete with tested code examples that can be adapted for your applications.
