Lots of Go developers start with this book
Boring Go! is a refreshingly practical guide to writing Go the way it actually works best in real projects—simple, explicit, and a little bit boring (in the good way). Instead of chasing clever tricks or over-engineered abstractions, it focuses on the patterns, defaults, and trade-offs that experienced Go developers quietly rely on every day.
