Whenever I encounter any book on go , the first thing I do is to read the installation page . This is the best I’ve seen of any book . You made the whole “PATH” thing that drives new go users mad and gave a thorough reason of why it’s needed .

Re: Show HN: I wrote a book about Go
#72Hello all, After 2.5 years of writing, countless weekends and evenings, I released a book about the Go programming language. The book is available for free on the website because I wanted to give something back to the developer's community :) It is composed of 700+ pages, 41 chapters, and approximately 405 drawings/screenshots. I tried to cover all the important topics that a new Go programmer should know. At the end…
This looks amazing. Thank you.
I've found an error.
In Chapter 6, Section 3 (Introduction) you say, "In a previous chapter, we covered decimal and binary notation." but those topics aren't covered until Chapter 7 :)

Hello hodder, thanks for reporting this. I have no idea what is the cause of this...
I ran a scan with Norton antivirus on the website artifacts downloaded on AWS the result is OK. I also checked the website with Google safe browsing ( https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?u... ) and the result is also OK. I also run the test with virus total website and no threats have been detected. ( https://www.virustotal.com/en/#url ). If you have more information about this do not hesitate…
My browser (when behind work VPN) is showing an untrusted SSL cert error so probably the issuer is not whitelisted in some employer's systems.

On another note, you might want to consider converting the online copy of the book to MkDocs (using the Material theme), so that it's easier to read, navigate and search.
I'd gladly lend a hand with this, if you like?

I'm using AWS amplify to deploy the website, they provide a free SSL certificate.
That's probably the reason !

Hi,
It's probably a combination of young domain, and associated IPs blocked from mail.

#77I haven't taken a look at it yet. Can you summarize what it offers that Donovan & Kernighan's "The Go Programming Language" doesn't? (Sincere question, not being snarky.)

I will take a look at it, thanks for your suggestion. I will check if Lyx has an option to export to this format.

Thank you for this fantastic resource. I've been meaning to learn Go for a while, but have a lot of difficulty staying focused on tutorials with big blocks of text. Your concise bullet format is really easy to follow, and would be especially useful for anyone who doesn't speak English as their first language. Also really respect that you clearly did this out of passion, so I'll say this to everyone on your behalf: su…
oh thank you! I appreciate your kind words:) It's very rewarding to read all the comments on this thread... You made my day !
