This book is designed to help developers get up-to-speed in Go fast, to make use of existing knowledge of other languages, and to help developers avoid common mistakes made by Go newcomers. Based on author Mark Bates's and Cory LaNou's Gopher Guides training curricula, this book will allow readers to quickly understand and use Go syntax, core features, and idioms.

Reflecting Go through version 1.18, and including Go's new support for generics, this book prepares you to write robust, reliable, well-performing production code right from the outset.
