A step-by-step introduction to Go

Mike McGrath’s guide moves from core Go building blocks—variables, operators, flow control and functions—to object-oriented programming. It then covers practical tasks involving user input and reading and writing files on a local system. The second edition presents its examples in Visual Studio Code and includes material on the `new()` function. The sequence gives the book a clear scope: foundational language concepts followed by ways to apply them in programs. The publisher describes this edition as updated for Go 1.26.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People beginning to learn Go, including those without prior programming experience.
  • Programmers who want to add Go to their skill set.
  • Students studying programming or people preparing for software development careers.
