Book Description
Google’s Golang will be the next talk of the town,with amazing features and a powerful library. This book will gear you up for using golang by taking you through recipes that will teach you how to leverage the standard library to implement a particular solution. This will enable Go developers to take advantage of using a rock-solid standard library instead of third-party frameworks.
The book begins by exploring the functionalities available for interaction between the environment and the operating system. We will explore common string operations,date/time manipulations,and numerical problems. We’ll then move on to working with the database,accessing the filesystem,and performing I/O operations. From a networking perspective,we will touch on client and server-side solutions. The basics of concurrency are also covered,before we wrap up with a few tips and tricks.
By the end of the book,you will have a good overview of the features of the Golang standard library and what you can achieve with them. Ultimately,you will be proficient in implementing solutions with powerful standard libraries.
