Basic knowledge of the Go language is assumed. Experience with back-end application development is not necessary, but may help understand the motivation behind some of the recipes.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest your application using advanced testing methodologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop an awareness of application structures, interface design, and tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate strategies for third-party packages, dependencies, and vendoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet to know tricks on treating data such as collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle errors and cleanly pass them along to calling functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrap dependencies in interfaces for ease of portability and testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore reactive programming design patterns in Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eIn Detail\u003cp\u003eGo (a.k.a. Golang) is a statically-typed programming language first developed at Google. It is derived from C with additional features such as garbage collection, type safety, dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types, and a large standard library.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book takes off where basic tutorials on the language leave off. You can immediately put into practice some of the more advanced concepts and libraries offered by the language while avoiding some of the common mistakes for new Go developers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book covers basic type and error handling. It explores applications that interact with users, such as websites, command-line tools, or via the file system. It demonstrates how to handle advanced topics such as parallelism, distributed systems, and performance tuning. Lastly, it finishes with reactive and serverless programming in Go.\u003c\/p\u003eStyle and approach\u003cp\u003eThis guide is a handy reference for developers to quickly look up Go development patterns. It is a companion to other resources and a reference that will be useful long after reading it through the first time. Each recipe includes working, simple, and tested code that can be used as a reference or foundation for your own applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166344593648,"sku":"9781783286843","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783286843_p0.jpg?v=1763722759","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783286843","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
