You might as well print and read the golang.org tutorial. : Go Programming
I don't like to delve into technologies until there is a dead tree about it. Having a book written, tells me that a given project has matured enough, that even if it is not yet fully developed, it has enough momentum behind it not to disappear or change too rapidly to follow. It also means that I don't have to worry about the flaky documentation that is all too commonly associated with open source projects.
I have been interested in Go for some time now and when I happened to notice that this book had been written, I thought my time to learn Go had come. I couldn't have been more wrong.
This book is basically a self published, print on demand (The print date, the day it was ordered, is listed on the back page noting that it was printed in LaVergne,TN. There is not so much as a printers mark anywhere else in the book.), version of a tutorial that you might find on somebody's website. At $5 it might have been nice. At over $15, its vastly overpriced for what you get.
I won't fault the writing; but, the content is decidedly slim. This is definitely not the kind of comprehensive book that gets you up to speed on actually using the language or which one might use as a reference after they were done. The book covers most of the basic aspects of the language (even here it leaves out some important pieces such as the panic raising mechanism). Most things are not explained in much detail; but, there is enough for any programmer experienced in C or its derivatives to understand well enough.
What is not covered is overwhelming. The best analogy that I can think of is a book about Javascript which contains nothing about the frameworks in which it is used. It would contain nothing about client side objects, nothing about server objects, nothing about WSH/WScript/COM objects. Nothing but the core language itself. I was rather confused about Go's limited support for unbound dynamic data structures until I found out from a website that Go has a container library. Nothing about this was mentioned in the book.
I have now learned enough through searching out tutorials that explain what this book was missing, that I will keep studying the language. I would recommend that others either wait until the O'Reilly book is published or simply follow the online tutorials. Don't waste your money on this book.
