Quotes and Ratings

!!! quote "Krystian (Goodreads user)"

This is an **exceptional book**. Usually, if a book contains either high-quality explanations or is written succinctly, I consider myself lucky to have found it. This one combines these two characteristics, which is **super rare**. It's another Go book for me and I still had quite a lot of "a-ha!" moments while reading it, and all of that without the unnecessary fluff, just straight to the point.

!!! quote "Akash Chetty"

The book is completely **exceptional**, especially the examples carved out for each topic are really great. There is one topic that I struggled to understand is Concurrency but the way it is explained in this book is truly an art of genius.

!!! quote "Neeraj Shah"

This should be the **required reading** for all Golang developers before they touch code in **Production**... It's the Golang equivalent of the legendary 'Effective Java' by Joshua Bloch.

!!! quote "Anupam Sengupta"

Not having this will be the **101st mistake** a Go programmer could make.
