Great! Nice gift you've given to the community. Please, consider reviewing this line, from chapter 5, "I use Goland, which IntelliJ develops". GoLand is developed by JetBrains. IntelliJ IDEA is their Java IDE : )

Hello ! Thank you for your feedback ! I added this to my TODO

Really impressive. I'm a full time Go coder now, and lately I feel that a lot mediocre tutorials are appearing. In the sense that they compare as fast food to a quality dinner. I skimmed through your book and found the things I wanted to see: how to test, error wrapping, proper use of interfaces, etc. Your book is quality food. Excellent job!

Hi rollulus, I’m so grateful you liked the book :) Do not hesitate to share with me if you found an error or an improvement suggestion.

Hello 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…

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 like the current design, it is really clean and pleasant to read. I don't like Material Design, kind of makes everything look massive taking up too much space as if my desktop is a phone screen. for ex: http://angular-material.fusetheme.com/ui/forms

Could be that it's just me though

Awesome. I have done a bit of Go and released a few toy libs but this book makes me to do Go again.

I also plan to write a book about scraping in python and your way of release is more logical for ppl like me.

Like the other guy I also got stuck at TOC. I will use your mind map technique.

Could you open source book releasing tools?

"This site is blocked due to a security threat that was discovered by the Cisco Umbrella security researchers." Category: Malware That is the warning I'm getting on this link at work. Of course I don't think you are trying to malware people, but might want to look into that on why people might not be able to access your site.

Hello hodder, thanks for reporting this. I have no idea what is the cause of this...

Cisco is pretty terrible and has tons of false positives. I wouldn't worry too much.
