(Part 2) Best products from r/golang

BTW, have you read the Feathers book on legacy code? It's pretty damn good and helped me a lot.

I'm not saying you're a bad developer. What I am saying is that Feathers is a rare genius.

(There might be a newer edition)

The LISP 1.5 manual is a great example of concise tech writing, too.

Please put the title/name of what you're linking to so everyone doesn't have to follow an opaque link to find out.

The link is to: Database Systems: The Complete Book (2nd Edition) by Garcia-Molina, Ullman, and Widom.
(I've never read or head of this book, I'm just giving the name not recommending it).

Best book: Computer Networking Top Down Approach: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Networking-Top-Down-Approach-7th/dp/0133594149/?pldnSite=1
It’s not Go specific but you need to start at the fundamentals.

Good advices for code reading strategies can be found in this book http://www.amazon.com/Code-Reading-Open-Source-Perspective/dp/0201799405, not in Go however.

I had a recruiting firm send me this book. Pretty interesting.

Disclaimer: I have not read any of these.

Packt Publishing has recently released several books on different aspects of Go. This one, in particular, looks attractive to me: Go Design Patterns

And this one is also intriguing: Go: Building Web Applications


Again, I haven't read these, yet. I've only tucked them away into my Amazon wishlist for later, once user reviews have started rolling in and I've ceased to be poor.

I just bought 2 from Amazon for 30$ Bigger logo, decent shirt. Just looked down an realized I was wearing it.

I wrote a review for The Way to Go on Amazon.

TL;DR - Fantastic content, shitty writing.

You* can try this book - Distributed computing with Go.

After a brief intro into testing with Go and other such stuff, it explains how goroutines & channels work under the hood then shows how to use them. And rest of the book is about using these concepts with networking applications etc.

The Art of Multiprocessor Programming

Designing Data-Intensive Applications seems to be the industry standard, although it's not Go specific.

Ah, that's not to bad. I'm assuming it focused on doing your implementation using the standard library, or could you have used the gorilla toolkit or something?

I just got this book from Amazon called Data Structures & Algorithms in Go and it seems to be written from the point of view of preparing for more traditional interviews. Go just seems more practical so I would expect more interviews like yours, but I could be wrong.

Jeff Atwood has a nice take on rewriting (and Joel's post): https://blog.codinghorror.com/when-understanding-means-rewriting/

>Joel thinks rewriting code is always a bad idea. I'm not so sure it's that cut and dried. According to The Universe in a Nutshell, here's what was written on Richard Feynman's blackboard at the time of his death:
>
>\> What I cannot create, I do not understand.

>It's not that developers want to rewrite everything; it's that very few developers are smart enough to understand code without rewriting it.
