Are there any recent Go books that HN would recommend? Everything I see is from 2012 but I'd really like something from 2014 simply because I presume as an uninitiate that the platform is moving quickly.
- huntaub 13y agoOn the surface, that sounds reasonable. However, the Go platform has been very stable since 2012. Since Go documentation is standardized, learning how to write the language and use a few simple libraries (which a book from 2012 should do) should enable you to work with anything thrown your way.
- jshen 13y agoThe documentation on the Go site is really good. You don't need much more than that. The early access book from Manning is really good so far (http://www.manning.com/ketelsen/ http://www.manning.com/ketelsen/) but it's only a few chapters finished. After that I find myself reading the source for the code in the standard lib which is well written and relatively easy to follow.
