The official downloadable example programs accompanying the book 'The Go Programming Language' by Donovan and Kernighan. Each chapter's examples are organized as runnable Go programs fetched via the go tool.
Use cases
- learn Go programming from book examples
- run companion code for The Go Programming Language book
- study Go concurrency with goroutines and channels
- see idiomatic Go example programs
- follow along with gopl.io book exercises
When to choose
- you are reading the gopl.io book and want its runnable source code
- you want well-crafted idiomatic Go examples covering the whole language
- you want to study Go concurrency and interfaces with real code
When to avoid
- you need a production library or framework
- you want a standalone Go tutorial without the book
- you need permissively licensed code - examples are CC BY-NC-SA
