The Go Programming Language

The Go Programming Language is written by Google’s Go team member Alan A. A. Donovan and Brian Kernighan, co-author of The C Programming Language, which provide hundreds of interesting and practical examples of well-written Go code to help programmers learn this flexible, and fast, language. It is designed to get you started programming with Go right away and then to progress on to more advanced topics.
