3.0 out of 5 stars So so July 9 2012
By Alan M - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The author writes as if the reader already has experience writing in Go, and they now want to learn how to instead write idiomatically. Each section has its own code sample that the author refers to in explaining concepts. This works well if the examples are good, but otherwise it can make the section not very informative. The author often makes references and comparisons to other programming languages when explaining concepts. Without knowing all of the languages being discussed, it is quite likely the reader will not understand what is being discussed and miss the point that is trying to be made.

There is a major formatting problem with this book (as of July 9, 2012) where most of the code samples are unreadable and appear invisible on a Kindle Keyboard or in the Cloud Reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, bad edition July 5 2012
By Igor Karpov - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book is good. Sometimes it reminds me the classical K&R C Language bible. Unfortunately, the code snippets are missing when reading on my Kindle DX. And Amazon support was of no help in this case. I decided not to return the book anyway. It still can be read with Kindle for Macintosh.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're only ever going to read one book about Go, read this one Jun 22 2012
By Franck Jeannin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the perfect introduction to the Go language with lots of references to other languages to put things in perspective.
So, if you're an experienced developer, you will very quickly grasp what Go is all about simply by knowing when and why it is similar to things you already know as well as when, why and how it is different.

The format of the book is a bit of a double edge sword. It is great if you want to carry it with you all the time, not so great when the text describes a piece of code that ends-up being printed on the back of the same page due to space constrains. Also, it may feel a bit pricey compared to "big" books.
