I read this book in 2015 and quickly checked why I didn't write a review.
Well, based on my notes and experience nearly a decade later, I can say the book made me learn the ropes with Go and, with the support of many other Go books, be where I am with Go.
At the time, while working at a forex trading company, we were heavily invested in Ruby. I had previous professional experience with Ruby, Java, and Python, which is exactly the audience for the book. :)

I delivered an ASTERIX VOiP server that stood in production for years after I left the company. It was a necessary backbone for the company's communication lines.
Unfortunately, the book is out of print and, I think, impossible to find nowadays. It was pretty good.
Kudos to the author, Alan Harris, for writing the right book at the right time for me.
