Summary

Go is rapidly becoming the preferred language for building web services。 While there are plenty of tutorials available that teach Go's syntax to developers with experience in other programming languages, tutorials aren't enough。 They don't teach Go's idioms, so developers end up recreating patterns that don't make sense in a Go context。 This practical guide provides the essential background you need to write clear and idiomatic Go。

No matter your level of experience, you'll learn how to think like a Go developer。 Author Jon Bodner introduces the design patterns experienced Go developers have adopted and explores the rationale for using them。 You'll also get a preview of Go's upcoming generics support and how it fits into the language。


Learn how to write idiomatic code in Go and design a Go project
Understand the reasons for the design decisions in Go
Set up a Go development environment for a solo developer or team
Learn how and when to use reflection, unsafe, and cgo
Discover how Go's features allow the language to run efficiently
Know which Go features you should use sparingly or not at all

Great walk through on how to use money to get to your dreams。

Natalia

One of the better books regarding personal finance。 Not super dry but gives illustrated examples to the topics she expands on。 Overall, very interesting read。 I think the most useful part of this book has to do with knowing more about you personally tend to feel and act towards money and spending etc。 Great for defining your own money behaviors and how to best address any of them that may cause an issue。

Chelsi

I enjoyed how this book made me think about why I do what I do with money。 The questions at the end of each chapter were helpful in getting me to better evaluate myself and my money habits。

Reads like a junior in high school wrote it, but sometimes insightful, even if poorly written。 Wish they were able to leave out all the god nonsense, but I guess it comes with the territory。 It's interesting how people in 2021 can still derive so much of their personal philosophies from such a contextually outlandish book of myths。 Reads like a junior in high school wrote it, but sometimes insightful, even if poorly written。 Wish they were able to leave out all the god nonsense, but I guess it comes with the territory。 It's interesting how people in 2021 can still derive so much of their personal philosophies from such a contextually outlandish book of myths。 。。。more

I enjoyed this read, especially the last two chapters。 I did find it to be more anecdotal rather than factual。 If you are analytically minded and are looking for a bunch of data to back up the information provided, this is probably not the book for you。

Quick read。 A lot of anecdotes and some good journal prompts but nothing new or novel, would be good for beginners or people new to Financial Peace。 I do like Rachel’s voice and relatable style but this was kind of a miss for me

This book was okay。 This audiobook was given to me for free so I didn't go in expecting much, but as a Ramsey podcast listener, I find Rachel to be funny and delightful。 Her book was full of funny antidotes and alluded to a personality trait test that is trendy like the ever popular Enneagram, but most of her research was incredibly incomplete and shallow。 There were so many missed opportunities in this book。 She could have built a solid psychology of money book, but instead she filled all the m This book was okay。 This audiobook was given to me for free so I didn't go in expecting much, but as a Ramsey podcast listener, I find Rachel to be funny and delightful。 Her book was full of funny antidotes and alluded to a personality trait test that is trendy like the ever popular Enneagram, but most of her research was incredibly incomplete and shallow。 There were so many missed opportunities in this book。 She could have built a solid psychology of money book, but instead she filled all the missing gaps in her research with an advertisement of the Total Money Makeover。 It was lazy。 But, as Robert Kiyosaki says in "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" (I'm paraphrasing)- I said I was a best-SELLING author, I never said I was a good author。 。。。more

Katie Sherry

Great insight on money。 Really helps you walk through why you handle money they way you do。 Great read。

DeLaura Puckett

I think this book is so good。 Knowing why you do the things you do with money, truly helps you win in how you manage your debt, get rid of your debt and manage the rest of your finances。 This is a great starting point to help you win with your money。

Hannah Gies

Great content, felt like it could have been 25% shorter at least。 Having grown up with Dave Ramsey principles a lot of this was things I knew so that made it seem more redundant to me。 This is a powerful book for those who are learning about money or managing money。

Brandy Ange

I really enjoyed this book and Rachel’s way of explaining the different reasons why we could be the way we are with our money。 It was really eye opening。 I listened to it on the road, but I fully intend to listen to it slower and take the notes at the end of each am chapter to really help me figure out where I stand and why and where and how I can improve。 I loved FPU but I feel like this just takes those principals to an even deeper more personal level。 Great read!

Rachelle

Know Yourself, Know Your Money。。。 a collection of short stories to help readers understand which category of saver versus spender they are based on how their family handled money growing up。 The explanations were great idea starters, but very basic and maybe not applicable for everyone。 Definitely some good advice was included, much of it previously discussed by Dave Ramsey's books and podcasts, but for beginners into a debt free lifestyle, this book is helpful。 Know Yourself, Know Your Money。。。 a collection of short stories to help readers understand which category of saver versus spender they are based on how their family handled money growing up。 The explanations were great idea starters, but very basic and maybe not applicable for everyone。 Definitely some good advice was included, much of it previously discussed by Dave Ramsey's books and podcasts, but for beginners into a debt free lifestyle, this book is helpful。 。。。more

Dani Ward

Thought-provoking。 Insightful。 Easy to read。 Actionable。 That last one is very important。

Angela

If you’ve watched one Ramsey video or read one article about the baby steps, you too know enough to be a “financial expert”。 Skimmed in under 1 hour and did not learn anything new。 Good for people that are starting at square one in identifying why they spend。

Kristin

I learned quite a few things about myself and how I handle my money。 Can’t wait to see my progress after reading this。

Lorena

I’ll preface by saying that I have not read any other money/finance books prior to this one。 So if you have already done that, this book will likely not mention anything different from other books you’ve read。 With that being said。 I really enjoyed each chapter because it dove into my money classroom type, my saving/spending motivations, commitment versus involvement tendencies, etc。 While I don’t have a significant amount of debt, it was good to understand my underlying reasons with money and h I’ll preface by saying that I have not read any other money/finance books prior to this one。 So if you have already done that, this book will likely not mention anything different from other books you’ve read。 With that being said。 I really enjoyed each chapter because it dove into my money classroom type, my saving/spending motivations, commitment versus involvement tendencies, etc。 While I don’t have a significant amount of debt, it was good to understand my underlying reasons with money and how I could improve in certain areas。 I definitely felt Rachel speaking to me about certain areas of money I felt fear in and was convicted afterwards。 A good kind of conviction that will bring change to those areas。 Above all else, I liked that she mentioned various Bible verses throughout the book that related to money because it all ties back to honoring god with our finances。 Great overall read! 。。。more

Freedom

WOW great insight and help for getting started or encouragement along the way!! Definitely reading again!!

Paige Gordon

If I’m honest I really didn’t think I would learn anything new from this book。 I’ve read a million financial and personal development books and I thought that this would just be a good reminder of some things that I already knew。 But I’m happy to report I was wrong。 The way that Rachel presented this material, especially about the money classroom you experienced as a child was super helpful and enlightening to me and overall I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it!

So here’s the deal。。。I love Dave Ramsey and I like Rachel, but I was not the audience for this book。 I have been listening to their podcast for years (10+) and have analyzed our money habits and money attitudes throughout the years, so really this book had no new content for me。 However, if you are trying to make new money habits or trying to get on the same page with your partner, this likely is a good read。 I just found my self skipping entire sections。 But with that said, I’m still a Ramsey S So here’s the deal。。。I love Dave Ramsey and I like Rachel, but I was not the audience for this book。 I have been listening to their podcast for years (10+) and have analyzed our money habits and money attitudes throughout the years, so really this book had no new content for me。 However, if you are trying to make new money habits or trying to get on the same page with your partner, this likely is a good read。 I just found my self skipping entire sections。 But with that said, I’m still a Ramsey Solutions fan and believe it can be beneficial to anyone and most any pint in your money journey! 。。。more

Angela K

This book helped me understand why I spend and save the way I do。 It gave me insight on why others spend and save the way they do and how to give grace to them。 This would be a great book to work through as a couple。 It helped me dream for the future!

My main criticism of all books written by any of the “Ramsey Personalities” is that I feel like the books stay very surface level。 I wonder if this is partially because the authors are restricted by the Dave Ramsey baby steps。 I can sense that they have to be careful what they say, because heaven forbid they suggest anything that would go against Dave Ramsey’s money rules。 Also because of this restriction, the books come off as a bit of an advertisement for the Dave Ramsey plan。 And by the way, My main criticism of all books written by any of the “Ramsey Personalities” is that I feel like the books stay very surface level。 I wonder if this is partially because the authors are restricted by the Dave Ramsey baby steps。 I can sense that they have to be careful what they say, because heaven forbid they suggest anything that would go against Dave Ramsey’s money rules。 Also because of this restriction, the books come off as a bit of an advertisement for the Dave Ramsey plan。 And by the way, I don’t have a problem with the baby steps, but I don’t like how dogmatic Dave Ramsey is about them。 You should NEVER use a credit card。 You should NEVER pay down debts from the highest interest rate to the lowest (you should pay them down from lowest amount to highest)。 You should NEVER put a mortgage on your house in order to invest- even if mortgage interest rates are less than 2%。。。 personal finance is personal and I don’t think a ‘once size fits every situation’ plan makes sense。All that being said, I did like parts of this book。 I didn’t get much out of the first few chapters about money classrooms and the seven money tendencies- but I did enjoy some of the later chapters about giving and why we spend。 Many finance people talk about life style inflation, keeping up with the Joneses, and status spending, so spending for the wrong reasons is not a new concept to consider- but I like the way the author frames this concept。 She says, when you are going to buy something you should ask yourself the question, “would I buy this (thing or experience) if no one else would ever know about it?” Most of us would like to think we don’t do this, but I think answering this question is a very good way to test each purchase。 I mean, if it’s not posted on Instagram, did it even really happen? ;) 。。。more

This book is technically very good! It’s just a lot more of the same if you’ve already read books from the Ramsey Personalities or have been following the Baby Steps & Financial Peace University。

I really enjoyed this book! I listened to it on audible and Rachel’s commentary was very well done。 However, I do not recommend listening to it on audible。 I would have liked to have a physical book to take notes in because there is a lot of reflecting and journaling that needs to be done in this book。 Whenever I read it again, I plan to get a physical copy of the book instead!

Danica

A fantastic book not only about how to wisely steward your finances but also about how to wisely navigate your *heart* when it comes to spending, saving, giving, and living free。

Cheryl Brewer

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was very pleasantly surprised! It really made me think about myself and my relationship with money from my early childhood to present times。 The best part is that there is no underlying judgement, guilt, or shame。 Truly a book of personal discovery and guidance。 I am excited to put what I learned into practice!

Katherine Kehres

Rachel is such a great story teller! She has such a clear and convincing style for sharing her thoughts on the personal and emotional side of money habits。 We've been following the Dave Ramsey plan for our entire marriage and this book goes much more into the "why" more than the "what", which I really loved。 Rachel is such a great story teller!

This is the best financial book I’ve read。 It helps you understand why you are the way you are with money going all the way back to your upbringing。 Highly recommend!

Joy

Read this book with a keen eye on yourself。 The author guides you to the water but you’ll need to drink to get what she’s telling you。 It’s a meaningful read that shines light in the right places to help you reconsider your spending habits。
