description: Implement solutions by leveraging the power of the GO standard library and reducing dependency on external crates Google's Golang will be the next talk of the town with amazing features and a powerful library. This book will gear you up for using golang by taking you through recipes that will teach you how to leverage the standard library to implement a particular solution. This will enable Go developers to take advantage of using a rock-solid standard library instead of third-party frameworks. The book begins by exploring the functionalities available for interaction between the environment and the operating system. We will explore common string operations date/time manipulations and numerical problems. We'll then move on to working with the database accessing the filesystem and performing I/O operations. From a networking perspective we will touch on client and server-side solutions. The basics of concurrency are also covered before we wrap up with a few tips and tricks. By the end of the book you will have a good overview of the features of the Golang standard library and what you can achieve with them. Ultimately you will be proficient in implementing solutions with powerful standard libraries. This book is for Go developers who would like to explore the power of Golang and learn how to use the Go standard library for various functionalities. The book assumes basic Go programming knowledge.
