An introduction to Go and its uses

This book is for any developer familiar with a programming language such as Java or C# who is looking for a fast-paced but general introduction to Go.
While I cover a lot of ground in this short book, there are plenty of topics that I don’t have the space to delve into. The Go language itself is quite small and concise, but there’s a lot of depth to it, and the sheer volume of packages available in the Go Standard Library makes covering everything impossible.
My goal is to give you enough Go to inspire you to learn more. Take what I give you, enhance it, break it, work out how to fix it, and dive into the documentation and other resources available for truly immersing yourself in the language.
Go is gaining significant traction for very good reason: it is an excellent language for solving modern-day development problems. I predict that Go will become increasingly popular over the next few years, and any investment you put into learning it now will be rewarded in the future.
