Understand and write programs in Go, a multi-paradigm language with built-in features for concurrent programming. This book enables developers to build software that is simple, reliable, and efficient. It'll also help beginners to start programming Go-based applications. Beginning Go Programming begins by explaining the programming fundamentals of the Go language, including basic syntax, data type and structures, and the use of functions and methods. Next, it covers string formatting, Unicode data handling, and how to use regular expressions in Go. Further, it discusses how to encode and decode JSON formatted data for Go applications, and how to work with HTTP in Go. It concludes by exploring concurrency and covering the most powerful features of Go, as well as tips and tricks related to it. After reading this book and working through its practical examples, you will be ready to begin programming your own Go-based applications.

Developed by Google in 2007, Go (aka GoLang) is a programming language designed with simplicity and speed as its focus. The design goals of Go were to create a simple and readable syntax of a dynamically-typed, high-level language programming language like Python, but also have the stability and efficiency of a statically-typed low-level language like C/C++. Supported by Google, Go is an open-source programming language and is easier to learn and get started with. It has built-in support for concurrency, a robust standard library, type safety, multiple built-in types, dynamic-typing capability, garbage collection, and several other advanced features, such as key-value maps and variable-length arrays. Go has the power to let you leverage the might that multi-core processors have to offer, which results in faster-running programs.

Furthermore, Go has the power to let you leverage the might that multi-core processors have to offer, which results in faster-running programs. One of the important aspects to remember about Go is that it is not an object-oriented programming language. Nevertheless, you do find certain important object-oriented features in the Go language, like custom interfaces, types, and structs (data structures), which can be defined.

What You Will Learn:
