Introduction
Go is an open-source programming language designed for building simple, fast, and reliable software. It's powerful to use and fun to learn.
This book is a hands-on introduction to Go. It gives you the tools you need to understand the why of Go and how to write real Go programs.
Intended Audience
This book is intended for experienced programmers who may be new to Go. If you have previous experience with languages like Ruby, Python, Javascript, C#, or Java, you should find this book immediately approachable even if this is your first introduction to Go. Even if you've worked with Go before, you may find that the material covers ideas and techniques that you haven't seen elsewhere.
An Example-Based Approach
Programmers learn to program by writing programs. Go by Example therefore teaches Go exclusively via working example programs, with each chapter trying to provide the programmer a new tool for writing her own programs.
