I read this book because what I knew about Go was some superficial knowledge that is already a couple of years ago, and I wanted to be able to have an informed opinion on the language. Matt is doing a really good job at giving a quick overview of the language for experienced programmers. Even though the book is lacking in-depth information on some of the topics, I found it to be quite helpful – there a quite a few well-done exercises and lots of references to additional material.

Great introduction for the working programmer. It is a thin and fast paced book. It includes pointers towards other recommended resources on the internet.

Good book to start with Go or to recall it. Basically, it's the same as "Go tour" from the official site, but slightly restructured.

Plain intro.

Includes quite a few useful links in the concurrency chapter and in the end.

This is a great book for getting an overview on Golang.
Quick read, simple and focused.

Great formatting. Good intro. Lacking in details, especially for the meaty topics such as concurrency and pointers.
