This notebook has been written and designed to provide a reference to everything covered in our Ultimate Go class. If you have taken the class before, this notebook will be invaluable for reminders on the content. If you have never taken the class, there is still tremendous value in this book. It covers more advanced topics not found in other books today.

- Guidelines, design philosophy, white-boarding, and notes shared from the Ultimate Go class
- Learn advanced concepts in Go from types to profiling
- Get started with generic functions and types

If you have never taken the class, I still believe there is value in this book. It covers more advanced topics not found in other books today. I’ve tried to provide a well rounded curriculum of topics from types to profiling. I have also been able to provide examples for writing generic function and types in Go, which will be available in version 1.18 of Go.

The book is written in the first person to drive home the idea that this is my book of notes from the Ultimate Go class. The first chapter provides a set of design philosophies, quotes, and extra reading to help prepare your mind for the material. Chapters 2-13 provide the core content from the class. Chapter 14 provides a reediting of important blog posts I’ve written in the past. These posts are presented here to enhance some of the more technical chapters like garbage collection and concurrency.

In Go, the underlying machine is a real machine, unlike what I would find in Java or C# with their virtual machine layer. The model of computation is that of the computer. Here is the key, Go gives me direct access to the machine while still providing abstraction mechanisms to allow higher-level ideas to be expressed.
