At the time of review, only 4 of 12 chapters are available. The book stands out for making testing a first-class concern from the very first example, using a project-based teaching approach rather than abstract first principles. It targets developers coming from other languages but is accessible enough for beginners. The book covers Go modules and touches on generics, with future chapters planned to cover REST and gRPC microservices and goroutines. The reviewer is enthusiastic and considers it a strong contender for best Go book of 2023, pending completion. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
