DESCRIPTION
Go may be the perfect systems language. Built with simplicity, concurrency, and modern applications in mind, Go provides the core tool set for rapidly building web, cloud, and systems applications. With superstar projects like Docker giving the language a high-visibility boost; it's no wonder that companies are clamoring for experienced Go engineers. If you know a language like Java or C#, it's easy to get started with Go; the trick is finding the practical dirt-under-the-fingernails techniques that you need to build production-ready code
Go in Practice guides you through dozens of real-world techniques in key areas like package management, microservice communication, and more. Following a cookbook-style Problem/Solution/Discussion format, this practical handbook builds on the foundational concepts of the Go language and introduces specific strategies you can use in your day-to-day applications. You'll learn techniques for building web services, using Go in the cloud, testing and debugging, routing, network applications, and much more.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- Specific, practical Golang techniques
- Using Go for devops and cloudops
- Writing RESTful web services and microservices
