This book made the perfect birthday present. Knowledge is power.

Really useful guide with all the information you could want. Excellent for all your needs, whatever the level you’re working at.

This book was a real find for me. It is structured so that each section flows naturally into each other, starting with basic debugging skills and moving on to advanced concepts such as profiling and distributed tracing. Examples and practical exercises help you immediately apply knowledge in real work. I especially liked the chapter on pair programming - I had no idea how useful it could be. Thanks to this book, my confidence in debugging and solving production problems has increased significantly. Highly recommend!

Matt does a great job of taking you through debugging in Go. From the how to the why he shows you everything you need to know. Would highly recommend, especially if you are new to debugging, but also good for experienced engineers.

As someone who has only used go for side projects, I found this book very helpful for learning what it would take to use in production at work.I would recommend it for beginner or intermediate go users

I've followed Matt Boyle for a long time on Twitter and he's provided extremely useful go resources.So I bought this book on the back of his good work. And it's great - very useful and practical. Highly recommend.

I had some experience with the go language, but this book helped me understand the tools big companies use to debug in production.Highly reccomend it for beginner and intermediate golang developers

The topics and depth in which they’re covered are a great grounding for junior to mid engineers looking to add senior dev skills to their toolbelt. They’re also widely applicable skills, so although this book is specific to Go, the concepts hold across all languages.As a senior dev still dipping my toe into the world of Go this book was great to get a broad overview of how all of these techniques I’m used to using with other languages carry across to Go.
