I have just started reading Mastering Go, 2nd edition. The book contains many useful examples that can help someone learn Go and write Go code as well. What I find really handy is that it contains the required theory to understand the why of topics such Go data types, data structures, the Go Garbage Collector and the Go Scheduler.Overall, a great book.

Great book! It covers everything from how to start with Go to Machine Learning (ML) in Go. It has very good examples, with code and code output, so you don't have to write your code to see the result. Another good thing about this book that it covers Go version 1.13 and it has a chapter dedicated to Go modules and Go packages, which is very important. I read other books and usually, they don't cover this topic. Mihalis, cover this topic by going deeply starting with one package and then how to extend it to the module and how to pack, and deploy them. This book has two chapters on concurrency (Goroutines, channels, and pipelines), one chapter is to understand concurrency in Go and the second one is more advanced. At the end of each chapter, there is an "Exercises" chapter. Implementing those exercises you will learn much more about Go.I'm very strongly agreed that after you read this book you will become "master" in Go.

Based on the 1st edition but with more content. Still an excellent book that you can use as a reference and for learning Go.

This book is huge and covers a lot of topics! This book is primarily for developers who want to gain a greater understanding of the power of Go and how to do more cool things with the language.Pros:- Concepts are explained in a simple manner. For example, the author introduces a new concept or tool with Go and explains why you might want to use it and when.- Made me a better Go developer. This book has a lot of 1% tips that improve your Go knowledge.- Diverse range of topics that explained in depth.- Easy to follow along code samplesCons:- This is a huge book! So don't expect to read it in a week or two. However, read it more like a reference book for when you interested in learning how to use Go to build different projects.- The code examples are not formatted when you copy and paste into your IDE. However, this is a common issue with programming books. You can quickly fix this with the "go fmt" command.Overall: I really love this book and would recommend it! I expect to go back to this book as I code Go throughout this next year as a guided reference.Side note: I particularly enjoyed the UNIX and Concurrency chapters because I'm interested in building CLI tools and the power of Go as your backend programming language.

If you want a really deep dive int Go internals and become a better Go Developer then that's the book for you. Lots of interesting topics and internals for Go and very good examples/code snippets to understand every little detail and advanced topics.I really enjoyed the sections about data structures, advanced concurrency, testing and optimization.
