# Go book update


I'm preparing a 0.2 version of the [Go
book](/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gobook.git;a=summary) I'm
writing. There are lots of small tweaks in the text and in the layout. I 
*still* need to extend the number exercises (and enhance the answers a
bit), but it is slowly coming together.

There is a new chapter on how to write programs that communicate with the
outside world (via files, sockets, etc.).

Some *infrastructure* work includes an automatic code checker —
sadly written in Perl.

I'm aiming for a release at the end of this week.

Pre-build `pdf`s can be found [here](files/go).
