      "Introducing Go" by Caleb Doxsey. It covers the absolute basics of the language and does a pretty good job at that.

      When I decided to learn Golang I picked up the "Introducing Go" book (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1491941952), which is a long tutorial with good exercises at the end of each chapter. It was what I was looking for, a long enough book to give me a taste of what the language is like so that I can decide whether to pick it up for a serious project or not.

      Good luck!
