Hello, and welcome to learning Go! It's great to have you here. The Deeper 
Love of Go is a book introducing the Go programming language, suitable for 
complete beginners, as well as those with experience programming in other 
languages. Includes free updates for life.

This is an early access edition, so it’s not yet complete, but updates will 
be published regularly, and you can read it as a work in progress.

Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Takes a very different approach from other beginner Go books, 
putting much more emphasis on mastering the fundamentals, rather than 
bewildering the reader with irrelevant detail.”
—Kris Broadie

About the book

This book assumes no previous knowledge of programming, and gently 
introduces you to Go step by step, challenging you to apply each new 
concept as you learn it. If you’ve used Go before but feel somehow you 
skipped something important, this book will build your confidence in the 
fundamentals. Take your first steps toward mastery with my fun, readable, 
and easy-to-follow guide.

Throughout the book we'll be working together to develop a fun and useful 
project in Go: an online bookstore called Happy Fun Books. You’ll learn how 
to use Go to store data about real-world objects such as books, how to 
write code to manage and modify that data, and how to build useful and 
effective programs around it.

Each chapter introduces a new feature or concept, and sets you some goals 
to achieve, with complete, step-by-step explanations of how to solve them, 
and full code listings with accompanying tests.

    * How to manage data in Go using built-in types, user-defined struct
      types, and collections such as maps and slices
