###The Little Go Book Free

The Little Go Book is a free introduction to Google's Go programming language. It's aimed at developers who might not be quite comfortable with the idea of pointers and static typing. It's longer than the other Little books, but hopefully still captures that little feeling.

###An Introduction to Programming in Go Free

This book is a short, concise introduction to computer programming using the language Go. Designed by Google, Go is a general purpose programming language with modern features, clean syntax and a robust well-documented common library, making it an ideal language to learn as your first programming language.

This book is free to read online or pdf form.

###Go Bootcamp Free

This companion book contains material initially written specifically for this event as well as content from Google & the Go team under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License and code licensed under a BSD license.

###Learning Go Free

###Go for Javascript Developers Free

This book helps Javascripters become Gophers. Outlining the differences between these languages makes it easier to switch back and forth, and can help mitigate potential issues when doing so.

###Go in Action

Go in Action introduces the Go language, guiding you from inquisitive developer to Go guru. The book begins by introducing the unique features and concepts of Go. (We assume you're up to speed with another programming language already, so don't expect to spend a lot of time rehearsing stuff you already know.) Then, you'll get hands-on experience writing real-world applications including web sites and network servers, as well as techniques to manipulate and convert data at speeds that will make your friends jealous. In the final chapters, you'll go in-depth with the language and see the tricks and secrets that the Go masters are using to make their applications perform. For example, you'll learn to use Go's powerful reflection libraries and work with real-world examples of integration with C code.

###Go Programming Blueprints

Build real-world, production-ready solutions in Go using cutting-edge technology and techniques.

Intended for seasoned Go programmers who want to put their expertise in Go to use to solve big, real-world, modern problems. With a basic understanding of channels and goroutines, you will hone your skills to build tools and programs that are quick and simple. You need not be an expert in distributed systems or technologies in order to deliver solutions capable of great scale. It is assumed that you are familiar with the basic concepts of Go.

###Programming in Go: Creating Applications for the 21st Century

Programming in Go brings together all the knowledge you need to evaluate Go, think in Go, and write high-performance software with Go. Summerfield presents multiple idiom comparisons showing exactly how Go improves upon older languages, calling special attention to Gos key innovations. Along the way, he explains everything from the absolute basics through Gos lock-free channel-based concurrency and its flexible and unusual duck-typing type-safe approach to object-orientation.

###The Go Programming Language

The Go Programming Language is the authoritative resource for any programmer who wants to learn Go. Alan A. A. Donovan and Brian W. Kernighan show you how to write clear and idiomatic Go to solve real-world problems. The book does not assume prior knowledge of Go nor experience with any specific language, so you'll find it accessible whether you're most comfortable with JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Java, or C++.

The book features hundreds of interesting and practical examples of idiomatic Go code that cover the whole language, its most important libraries, and a wide range of applications. Source code is freely available for download from the book's companion web site gopl.io, and may be conveniently fetched, built, and installed using the go get command.

Introducing Go: Build Reliable, Scalable Programs

Perfect for beginners familiar with programming basics, this hands-on guide provides an easy introduction to Go, the general-purpose programming language from Google. Author Caleb Doxsey covers the language's core features with step-by-step instructions and exercises in each chapter to help you practice what you learn.

Learn Go

Learn Go is a beginners guide to the Go programming language, aimed squarely at hobbyists and new developers. Its chock-full of exercises that you can tackle with nothing more than a web browser. Move forward each day with succinctly written chapters punctuated by elaborate challenges. By the end you will have cracked ancient ciphers, discovered the wonders of cellular automatons, planned a vacation on Mars, and directed rovers to gather weather data. This is just the beginning. What you build next is up to you.

Go Programming by Example

Go, commonly referred to as golang, is a programming language initially developed at Google in 2007. This book helps you to get started with Go programming. It describes all the elements of the language and illustrates their use with code examples.
