Book Description
Go has become increasingly popular. C-like speed, simplicity, and power for a growing number of system-level programming domains make it an attractive option for programmers. This book will help you learn the Go programming language by solving problems developers commonly face with a recipe approach.
You'll start by installing Go binaries and get familiar with the tools needed to develop an application. Then you'll manipulate with strings and use them in built-in function constructs to create a complex value from two floating-point values. Next, you'll learn how to perform arithmetic operations with date and time values, along with parsing them from string values.
Whether you're an expert programmer or a fresh starter, you will learn how various answers are programmed in the Go language, which will take you to the next level of mastery with Go. We cover concurrency in Go, performing various web programming tasks, doing system programming, reading and writing files, and many fundamental Go programming skills, such as proper error handling, and logging.
What you will learn
- Convert types from one to another
- Work with dates and times
- Work with maps and arrays
- Handle errors and perform logging
- Work with files and directories
- Handle HTTP request and responses
- Perform CRUD operations on a relational database
