Computer nerd getting back into the habit of curling up with a good book he so fondly remembers from ages past.
My interests range relatively widely, from history (both, books about history and history novels) over military SciFi to Fantasy to all kinds of technical books.
I prefer long-running series or large universes with dozens of books when it comes to my fiction reading.
My all-time favourites: - David Weber's Honorverse. Far and away the best military SciFi out there - Rebecca Gable's Waringham series

This book makes for an excellent second Golang book. I read "Learning Go" as an introduction to Go, but my main goal was to use Go for my web programming needs. So for my second book, I looked around for something with a light web dev introduction with Go. And I found "Let's Go". It covers all of the basics for delivering static HTML. While it covers a lot, from templating to databases and user management, the one major omission is any use of Javascript. But that's fine with me, to be honest. Everything else is covered really well, building a small web app for pasting text snippets.
I especially enjoyed the fact that Alex Edwards chose to not go with one of the big Golang web frameworks. He's instead using mostly the Golang standard library. But he also doesn't shy away from using libraries for targeted tasks, like …

I especially enjoyed the fact that Alex Edwards chose to not go with one of the big Golang web frameworks. He's instead using mostly the Golang standard library. But he also doesn't shy away from using libraries for targeted tasks, like HTML form parsing or session management. Another great thing was that it also showed the practical applications of all the syntax and approaches presented in "Learning Go" in a "real" project.
Overall a great book, and well worth the price.
