Important: Using golang is not about performance, but about trying out sth. new :smile:

@nuest I'd suggest reading

https://github.com/thewhitetulip/web-dev-golang-anti-textbook/blob/master/manuscript/8.0buildingAPI.md

instead of the gitbooks, because I am not going to use Gitbooks after maybe a month. The book is going to be available on Leanpub only, as PDF, ePub or Mobi.

Thanks for the pointer!

On a different note: Do you have a hint about a markdown-based way to write books that look good as PDFs and have complex sections, etc., and is not bookdown?

[thewhitetulip]

I use markdown. I can assure you they look

what do you mean by complex sections? I would suggest go ahead with leanpub.com

I am placing my book there, https://leanpub.com/antitextbookGo/

Leanpub is better than gitbooks
