Pocket-size projects, modular and versatile skills! Take your Go programming capabilities to the next level with 11 engaging applications.

Learn Go with Pocket-Sized Projects teaches some of the most important skills of Go programming—including Go’s unique idiomatic syntax—all through building fun and useful apps and games. Each project is fully working, simple to write, and easy to scale-up to full-size Go applications.

In Learn Go with Pocket-Sized Projects you’ll build:

• A Wordle-alike game
• A currency converter application
• A habit-tracking application
• A book digest application
• A maze-solving algorithm
• A microcontroller-based traffic lights program
• …and more!

Each small, self-contained project in Learn Go with Pocket-Sized Projects introduces important practical skills, including ensuring that your code is thoroughly tested and documented! You’ll make architectural decisions for your projects and organize your code in a maintainable way. Work your way through, and you’ll be able to utilize Go for everything from server-side applications to low-level systems programming.

Foreword by Ron Evans.
