When I decided to learn Go back in 2014, I bought a copy of Programming in Go by Mark Summerfield, and while I found it to be quite helpful, it’s now woefully outdated. So when people now ask me what book to read to learn Go, I’ve never been quite sure. I’m on a mission to fix this!
I just ordered six of the most recent books on Go, targeting beginners, and will be reviewing each of them here, and on my YouTube channel. I’m kicking this series off in this post, by reviewing Go Programming Language for Dummies by Wei-Meng Lee. I’m starting with this book simply because it’s the first one to arrive from my order.
Read my conclusion, or jump to individual reviews:
