About Go Programming
This site is the accompanying website for my book, Go Programming . I enjoy helping people learn about computer programming, and when I discovered this wonderful new language from Google, I had to experiment with it.
Go could become one of the most popular systems languages in the future, due to its support of modern programming paradigms and writability, amongst other exciting features.
The documentation on the official Go Language site (golang.org) is extensive and fairly comprehensive, but the need for an introductory book to help people get a solid start quickly was needed. While I am a professional software engineer with industry experience, my real passion is in teaching. Given the need for such a book and my love of teaching, there was only one thing that could be done. I wrote the book!
As the book starts selling and more people are able to read it, I will include clarifications, code samples, and (hopefully minimal) errata on this site.
