   > I feel[1] that a smart/talented C/C++/anything developer can go from someone who has never seen or heard of golang to a proficient and productive Go developer in a matter of a few weeks, maybe even _days_, if not less.

   Agreed! My career is mostly database development. Very high level. Yet I felt comfortable in Go in a few weeks. In a few months I was handling low-level stuff (to me, anyway) like tweaking Go's web server. Go's official online documentation is excellent, although I wish it had lots more examples. The next best learning resource I have on it is the book Programming in Go (also get the Go Programming Language Phrasebook).

   I just read this book last week!

   It's an easy read, and it does a good job showing what Go is like. It piqued my interest, and yesterday I started reading 'Programming in Go: Creating Applications for the 21st Century' by Mark Summerfield. Does anybody know how it compares to 'The Go Programming Language Phrasebook' by David Chisnall?

   I haven't done it myself. The idea is from the book The Go Programming Language Phrasebook. I've misplaced the book, but this link shows it's probably netchan: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/golang-n...
