Key Features

Enough concurrency theory to provide contextual understanding of Go concurrencyGiving weight to synchronous and asynchronous data streams in Golang web applicationsMaking Goroutines and Channels completely familiar and natural to Go developers

Book Description

Distributed Computing with Go gives developer with a good idea how basic Go development works the tools to grasp the true potential of Golang development in a world of concurrent web and cloud applications.

This book starts out with setting up a professional Go development environment and then teaches the reader the basic concepts and practices of Golang concurrent and parallel development. The Golang developer will then learn how to balance resources and data with REST and standard web approaches while keeping concurrency in mind. Then the reader's skills will be expanded considerably by writing a distributed document indexing system that has to balance a large corpus of documents with considerable analytical demands. The tutorial is rounded out with introductions to cloud deployment and Go testing.
