Overview of this book

Often referred to (incorrectly) as Golang, Go is the high-performance systems language of the future. Mastering Go, Second Edition helps you become a productive expert Go programmer, building and improving on the groundbreaking first edition. Mastering Go, Second Edition shows how to put Go to work on real production systems. For programmers who already know the Go language basics, this book provides examples, patterns, and clear explanations to help you deeply understand Go’s capabilities and apply them in your programming work. The book covers the nuances of Go, with in-depth guides on types and structures, packages, concurrency, network programming, compiler design, optimization, and more. Each chapter ends with exercises and resources to fully embed your new knowledge. This second edition includes a completely new chapter on machine learning in Go, guiding you from the foundation statistics techniques through simple regression and clustering to classification, neural networks, and anomaly detection. Other chapters are expanded to cover using Go with Docker and Kubernetes, Git, WebAssembly, JSON, and more.

Exercises

Test out what you have learned by trying to complete the following exercises:

  • Read the documentation of the fmt package using go doc.
  • In UNIX, an exit code of 0 means success, whereas a non-zero exit code usually means failure. Try to modify which.go to do so with the help of os.Exit().
  • The current version of which(1) stops after finding the first occurrence of the desired executable. Make the necessary code changes to which.go in order to find all possible occurrences of the desired executable.
