The website is unreachable
maximilienandi · 5 years ago
Hello andreagrandi, sorry to hear that, can you access the website now ? It's hosted on AWS with Amplify, I did not received any alerts regarding that.

The only warning I got was a Free-Tier limit alert.

Really impressive. I'm a full time Go coder now, and lately I feel that a lot mediocre tutorials are appearing. In the sense that they compare as fast food to a quality dinner. I skimmed through your book and found the things I wanted to see: how to test, error wrapping, proper use of interfaces, etc. Your book is quality food. Excellent job!

Hi rollulus, I’m so grateful you liked the book :) Do not hesitate to share with me if you found an error or an improvement suggestion.

Pretty spectacular, my niece wants to learn GO having already some basic programming knowledge and this seems a perfect fit for her.

I hope that it will help your niece!

Great! Nice gift you've given to the community.

Please, consider reviewing this line, from chapter 5, "I use Goland, which IntelliJ develops". GoLand is developed by JetBrains. IntelliJ IDEA is their Java IDE : )

Hello ! Thank you for your feedback ! I added this to my TODO

Would you consider open sourcing the book? What systems are you using to create and maintain it?
maximilienandi · 5 years ago
Hello rijoja, I'm currently thinking about it.

I'm writing the book with Lyx. Lyx documents are converted to LaTeX docs, then converted to HTML with pandoc. Then I have a homemade Go script that generates the VueJs components (one per chapter).

This question is asked a lot so I will write something about the system because it can help other writers.
