It’s difficult to say who this book is written for. It’s not for beginners and some chapters make it seem that it is not for people who know other languages. The authors refer to some code from Swift and C, so awareness of that would help.
But a bigger problem is the style of writing as well. The way explanations and code samples flow is weird and it seemed that the author was oscillating between multiple styles throughout the book: the kind of result you might see if there are multiple reviewers on your codebase and you implement their suggestions selectively. All the chapters felt different in this regard.
I think the best description of this book is that it describes the various features of Go and then shows you some example code to explain the features. The example code resemble real world applications but there is no context.
All in all, skim it if you must but there are better ways to learn Go.

Tanmay!
You did such a great job at Tanmay Teaches Julia for Beginners: A Springboard to Machine Learning for All Ages, that I had hopes that this was going to be similar.
This was good, but it was not as straightforward as you did with Julia.
Still a good book though!
3.7/5
