Go Systems Programming: Master Linux and Unix system level programming with Go

Book Description

Key Features

• Learn how to write system’s level code in Golang, similar to Unix/Linux systems code
• Ramp up in Go quickly
• Deep dive into Goroutines and Go concurrency to be able to take advantage of Go server-level constructs

Book Description

Go is the new systems programming language for Linux and Unix systems. It is also the language in which some of the most prominent cloud-level systems have been written, such as Docker. Where C programmers used to rule, Go programmers are in demand to write highly optimized systems programming code.

Created by some of the original designers of C and Unix, Go expands the systems programmers toolkit and adds a mature, clear programming language. Traditional system applications become easier to write since pointers are not relevant and garbage collection has taken away the most problematic area for low-level systems code: memory management.

This book opens up the world of high-performance Unix system applications to the beginning Go programmer. It does not get stuck on single systems or even system types, but tries to expand the original teachings from Unix system level programming to all types of servers, the cloud, and the web.

What you will learn

• Explore the Go language from the standpoint of a developer conversant with Unix, Linux, and so on
• Understand Goroutines, the lightweight threads used for systems and concurrent applications
• Learn how to translate Unix and Linux systems code in C to Golang code
• How to write fast and lightweight server code
• Dive into concurrency with Go
• Write low-level networking code

书名：Go Systems Programming: Master Linux and Unix system level programming with Go

Key Features

• 学习如何用Golang编写类似于Unix/Linux系统代码的系统级别代码
• 加速前进，快走
• 深入研究Goroutine和Go并发性，以便能够利用Go服务器级构造

Book Description

Go是用于Linux和Unix系统的新的系统编程语言。它也是一些最著名的云级系统的编写语言，比如Docker。在C程序员曾经统治的地方，围棋程序员被要求编写高度优化的系统编程代码。

Go由C和Unix的一些原始设计者创建，它扩展了系统程序员工具包，并增加了一种成熟、清晰的编程语言。传统的系统应用程序变得更容易编写，因为指针无关紧要，垃圾收集已经消除了低级系统代码最有问题的领域：内存管理。

这本书开启了高性能Unix系统应用程序的世界，让程序员开始。它不会停留在单一系统甚至系统类型上，而是试图将最初的教导从Unix系统级编程扩展到所有类型的服务器、云和Web。

你将学到什么

• 从熟悉Unix、Linux等的开发人员的角度探讨Go语言
• 了解Goroutine，用于系统和并发应用程序的轻量级线程
• 了解如何将C语言的Unix和Linux系统代码转换为Golang代码
• 如何编写快速轻量级的服务器代码
• Dive into concurrency with Go
• Write low-level networking code
