What you need for this book

This book:  Learn Functional Programming in Go


If you want to run the Go projects discussed in each chapter, you need to install Go.

If you're on a Mac go here.

Otherwise go here.

Next, you need to get your Go development environment running and start writing code.

Read the TL;DR subsection of the "How to build and run Go projects" section of the Appendix.

Go to chapter 1 in the book and start reading the section entitled, "Getting the source code"

Continue reading on how to setup and run your first project.

Other Go resources:

1. Tour of Go
2. Go by Example
3. Learning Go book
4. Go language specification
5. Work through a few Golang Code Samples

These will be the most helpful:

• Polymorphic Shapes
• Map of Car Options
• HTTP Server
• Functional Programming

These examples will help you learn Go. After working through one or more of them look at the code from the book and ask yourself, "What's different?". (Hint: This older work would dinged for a few things during a code review.)   

You'll soon learn the best ways to code Go after a few projects in this book. 

Note: When I think of better resources later, I'll put that information here.
