Description

Alex Rios, a seasoned Go developer and active community builder, shares his 15 years of expertise in designing large-scale systems through this book. It masterfully cuts through complexity, enabling you to build efficient and secure applications with Go's streamlined syntax and powerful concurrency features. In this book, you’ll learn how Go, unlike traditional system programming languages (C/C++), lets you focus on the problem by prioritizing readability and elevating developer experience with features like automatic garbage collection and built-in concurrency primitives, which remove the burden of low-level memory management and intricate synchronization. Through hands-on projects, you'll master core concepts like file I/O, process management, and inter-process communication to automate tasks and interact with your system efficiently. You'll delve into network programming in Go, equipping yourself with the skills to build robust, distributed applications. This book goes beyond the basics by exploring modern practices like logging and tracing for comprehensive application monitoring, and advance to distributed system design using Go to prepare you to tackle complex architectures. By the end of this book, you'll emerge as a confident Go system programmer, ready to craft high-performance, secure applications for the modern world.

Who is this book for?

This book is for software engineers looking to expand their understanding of system programming concepts. Professionals with a coding foundation seeking profound knowledge of system-level operations will also greatly benefit. Additionally, individuals interested in advancing their system programming skills, whether experienced developers or those transitioning to the field, will find this book indispensable.

System Programming in Go offers a practical exploration of system programming using a language often neglected in the systems domain. When one thinks of System Programming, go is probably not the first language that comes to mind. Go's concurrency features, garbage collection (as well as other features) make it ideal for applications such as backend web development. Even as a relatively experienced go developer I benefited greatly from this book.

System Programming Essentials with Go” is a gem for anyone diving into Go. As a software engineer with a background in C++ and Java, I found this book to be a refreshing and enlightening read. The author does an excellent job of explaining complex concepts in a clear and straightforward manner, which really resonates with my preference for a strong foundation of knowledge before coding.The practical examples and hands-on exercises are fantastic. They made me feel more confident in applying what I’ve learned to real-world system programming tasks. I also loved how the book delves into Go’s philosophy and idiomatic practices, deepening my appreciation and understanding of the language.This book has significantly enhanced my programming skills, and I highly recommend it to both experienced developers and beginners eager to learn system programming with Go.
