Overall, it’s what I expect from a Head First book. It was a perfectly
serviceable introduction to the Go programming language. Although it’s a Head
First book, I feel like it treated me like an experienced programmer and
didn’t waste a lot of time explaining how an if expression worked. Unlike
Head First Kotlin which never got to a lot of things that it had to toss
into Ten Brief Topics in the Appendix, it felt like it covered all the main
topics that needed to be covered to understand Go. It even includes coverage
of automated testing and a couple of chapters on web apps.
