Pocket-size projects, modular and versatile skills! Take your Go programming capabilities to the next level with 11 engaging applications. Learn Go with Pocket-Sized Projects teaches some of the most important skills of Go programming--including Go's unique idiomatic syntax--all through building fun and useful apps and games. Each project is fully working, simple to write, and easy to scale-up to full-size Go applications. In Learn Go with Pocket-Sized Projects you'll build: - A Wordle-alike game
- A currency converter application
- A habit-tracking application
- A book digest application
- A maze-solving algorithm
- A microcontroller-based traffic lights program
- ...and more! Each small, self-contained project in Learn Go with Pocket-Sized Projects introduces important practical skills, including ensuring that your code is thoroughly tested and documented! You'll make architectural decisions for your projects and organize your code in a maintainable way. Work your way through, and you'll be able to utilize Go for everything from server-side applications to low-level systems programming. Foreword by Ron Evans. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
