Announcement of the book by Brian Kernigan "The Go Programming Language"
On Amazon, they announced a new book by Brian Kernigan and Alan Donovan with the capacious title “The Go Programming Language”. Who does not know - Brian Kernigan is one of the co-authors of Unix, the author of cron-a and the author of one of the most iconic books in the world of programming " The C Programming Language ", written with Dennis Richie in 1978.
The book is available for pre-order, the release of the paper version is scheduled for August 27, 2015.
The above-mentioned book “The C Programming Language” is often referred to as a sample of technical literature, and is a complete and comprehensive (although already somewhat outdated) material on C. The second edition of the book (1988) was translated into 20+ languages, it was a reference book on C in universities and had a tremendous impact on the popularity and distribution of the C language in general.

Brian later published several more books, two of which were written in collaboration with Rob Pike - "The Unix Programming Environment" and "The Practice of Programming" , and considering that they worked together with Rob and Ken Thompson at Bell Labs, it’s not surprising that Kernighan decided to contribute to the popularization of Go. Brian's recent books were “D is for digital” (2011) and on AMPL AMPL: A Modeling Language for Mathematical Programming (2003).
Therefore, there is every reason to believe that this book on Go will be as complete and conceptual as the cult book on C. In addition, it will be a good starting point for universities and teachers of Computer Science courses - in this area there is an authoritative and high-quality teaching literature very valuable.
The second author of the book, Alan Donovan, is a developer from Google Inc., one of the main contributors to golang / tools is the author of many Go-code static analysis tools (go vet, oracle etc).
The publisher is Addison-Wesley, known in computer literature, which also published books such as Mythical Man-Month and The C ++ Programming Language.
