2021 - Learning Go: An Idiomatic Approach to Real-World Go Programming

Go is rapidly becoming the preferred language for building web services. While there are plenty of tutorials available that teach Go's syntax to developers with experience in other programming languages, tutorials aren't enough. They don't teach Go's idioms, so developers end up recreating patterns that don't make sense in a Go context. This practical guide provides the essential background you need to write clear and idiomatic Go.

No matter your level of experience, you'll learn how to think like a Go developer. Author Jon Bodner introduces the design patterns experienced Go developers have adopted and explores the rationale for using them. You'll also get a preview of Go's upcoming generics support and how it fits into the language.

2023 - gRPC Go for Professionals

In recent years, Microservice architecture has been gaining popularity. With that rise, comes a different set of requirements than we had previously. The most important one is efficient communication between the different services. That's where gRPC comes in. So naturally, this book will show you how to create gRPC servers and clients in an efficient, secure, and scalable way. But, on top of that, because Microservices are not only about communication, this book intends to show you how to deploy your application on Kubernetes and configure other tools that are needed for making your application more resilient. In that way, this book will give you all the tools that you need to start right away with gRPC in a Microservice architecture.

In gRPC Go for Professionals, you'll begin by learning the core concepts such as how the framework sends messages over the network and why it uses Protobuf for serialization and deserialization. After that, we will implement a TODO list API step by step to see the different features of gRPC. Then we are going to see how to test your services in different ways. We will see how to debug your API endpoints. And finally, we will see how to deploy the application's services by creating Docker images and using Kubernetes.

2023 - Learn Go with Pocket-Sized Projects

Event-driven architecture in Golang is an approach used to develop applications that shares state changes asynchronously, internally, and externally using messages. EDA applications are better suited at handling situations that need to scale up quickly and the chances of individual component failures are less likely to bring your system crashing down. This is why EDA is a great thing to learn and this book is designed to get you started with the help of step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and more.

You’ll begin building event-driven microservices, including patterns to handle data consistency and resiliency. Not only will you learn the patterns behind event-driven microservices but also how to communicate using asynchronous messaging with event streams. You’ll then build an application made of several microservices that communicates using both choreographed and orchestrated messaging.

By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy your own event-driven microservices using asynchronous communication.
