Series: Beyond Effective Go

Discover the unique secrets to writing high-quality code efficiently and effectively and dramatically improve your development productivity. Building on the success of Beyond Effective Go-Part 1: Achieving High-Performance Code, Corey shares wisdom and practical approaches to software engineering, software design, and code UX that will set you on the path to success.

This series doesn't waste time on the basics but dives straight into the solutions for the everyday challenges that professional programmers face. With clear explanations and real-world examples, you'll gain the skills to build performant, maintainable, and testable applications in Go efficiently and effectively.

Unlike many programming books, Beyond Effective Go focuses on the programmer and the code. Whether you're building large-scale backend services or convenient automation tools, the book will help you write maintainable, high-quality code that meets the needs of your users, programmers, and your business.

This book, Part 2 of the series, focuses on striving for high-quality code. It is built around the idea that we can only be consistently productive by producing quality work. To achieve quality, we need an arsenal of tricks, tools, and methodologies and the knowledge to apply them.

After reading this book, you will:

Understand fundamental software design principles and patterns and how to apply them using the appropriate Go manner. Appreciate how code usability (Code UX) is essential and how small, seemingly insignificant decisions can dramatically improve the quality of your code. Know when and how to use tests to ensure that code works and how to leverage tests to make yourself more productive. Discover how being lazy, observant, introspective, and adventurous can help you do more with less time. Know how to leverage your Go skills to build your own productivity tools.

Beyond Effective Go is an essential resource for programmers, software engineers, and software managers who want to make the most out of their Golang programming efforts.
