And this book makes it easy for programmers like you to get started. Google designed Go for high-performance networking and multiprocessing, but-- like Python and JavaScript--the language is easy to read and use. With this practical hands-on guide, you'll learn how to write Go code using clear examples that demonstrate the language in action. Best of all, you'll understand the conventions and techniques that employers want entry-level Go developers to know. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhy does this book look so different?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory, Head First Go uses a visually rich format to engage your mind rather than a textheavy approach that puts you to sleep. Why waste your time struggling with new concepts? This multisensory learning experience is designed for the way your brain really works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJay McGavren was doing automation for a hotel services company when a colleague introduced him to Programming Perl (a.k.a. the Camel Book). It made him an instant Perl convert, as he liked actually writing code instead of waiting for a 10-person development team to configure a build system. It also gave him the crazy idea to write a technical book someday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2007, with Perl sputtering, Jay was looking for a new interpreted language. With its strong object-orientation, excellent library support, and incredible flexibility, Ruby immediately won him over. He's since used Ruby for two game libraries, a generative art project, in support of a Java development job, and as a Ruby on Railsfreelancer. He's been using Rails in the online developer education space since 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"O'Reilly Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50504692629778,"sku":"9781491969557","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_0a7f86fa-a637-40a6-bb73-73cae9092f72.jpg?v=1730825407","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/head-first-go-9781491969557","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
