Been a while since I worked with Go but I'm considering it for an upcoming project.
Is there any word on a new, updated version of "The Go Programming Language" (Donovan, Kernighan) to cover all the new features since then? I really enjoyed working through that book.
If not: Any tips for a good resource to really get up to date with the new additions/changes since ~2015?
- ar_lan 5y agoI think there is a need for this. I use it daily and still find myself relegated back to pretty much the features that were available when I first picked it up - would love somewhat of a refresher book that is updated for 2021/2022.
- pageandrew 5y agoThe Go Programming Language is still pretty much up to date. Most of the recent updates have involved improvements to tooling (Go modules), improvements to the standard library, and internal optimizations. The big changes I'd point out are `context.Context` and `go mod`. I might be forgetting some things, but those are most notable to me.
