If you are new to Go and statically compiled languages in general, I've been working on a book to introduce you to Go.
The first two chapters are now available through Manning. Use mlyoungman to receive 50% off through October 17, 2015. This affiliate link earns me a few extra %. Thanks.
I downloaded the first sample chapter and it looks really professional. I've heard a lot about Go, but hadn't messed with it yet, so this is a good chance for me to get a peek at it. Cheers!
