Go is a general-purpose programming language with a clean syntax and advanced features, including concurrency. This book provides the one-on-one support you need to get started with the language, with short, easily digestible chapters that build on one another. By the time you finish this book, not only will you be able to write real Go programs, you'll be ready to tackle advanced techniques.

* Jump into Go basics, including data types, variables, and control structures
* Learn complex types, such as slices, functions, structs, and interfaces
* Explore Go’s core library and learn how to create your own package
* Write tests for your code by using the language’s go test program
* Learn how to run programs concurrently with goroutines and channels
* Get suggestions to help you master the craft of programming]]> 124 Caleb Doxsey 1491941952 Laurent 1 prog-languages, go ]]> 3.61 2016 Introducing Go: Build Reliable, Scalable Programs

review:
This is the worst computing book I have read in a long time. Making a book an "intro for beginners" should not become a pretext for loosely and incompletely touching, in what appears like a semi random fashion, on the concepts of the language. Targeting it for beginners relieve the author of any moral obligation to make connections with other similar concepts from other languages, and calling it an intro gives him a convenient way to get away with a less that thorough review of these concepts. A really really bad book IMHO that I can't recommend for any circumstance (except perhaps as one of these books we use to raise our monitors and forget all about).

� Thomas Becker, Senior Software Engineer, Zephyr Associates, Inc., and columnist, C/C++ Users Journal C++’s Standard Template Library is revolutionary, but learning to use it well has always been a challenge. Until now. In this book, best-selling author Scott Meyers ( , and ) reveals the critical rules of thumb employed by the experts � the things they almost always do or almost always avoid doing � to get the most out of the library. Other books describe what’s in the STL. Effective STL shows you how to use it . Each of the book’s 50 guidelines is backed by Meyers� legendary analysis and incisive examples, so you’ll learn not only what to do, but also when to do it � and why . Highlights of Effective STL Like Meyers� previous books, Effective STL is filled with proven wisdom that comes only from experience. Its clear, concise, penetrating style makes it an essential resource for every STL programmer.]]> 288 Scott Meyers 0201749629 Laurent 0 prog-languages, cpp 4.21 2001 Effective STL: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of the Standard Template Library

Since early in the 90s, working C++ programmers have relied on Scott Meyers s Effective C++ to dramatically improve their skills. But the state-of-the-art has moved forward dramatically since Meyers last updated this book in 1997. (For instance, there s now STL. Design patterns. Even new functionality being added through TR1 and Boost.) So Meyers has done a top-to-bottom rewrite, identifying the 55 most valuable techniques you need now to be exceptionally effective with C++.


Over half of this edition s content is new. Templates broadly impact C++ development, and you ll find them everywhere. There s extensive coverage of multithreaded systems. There s an entirely new chapter on resource management. You ll find substantial new coverage of exceptions. Much is gained, but nothing s lost: You ll find the same depth of practical insight that first made Effective C++ a classic all those years ago. Bill Camarda, from the July 2005 href=" Only
