Is there a really good book about learning Go?

Thanks for the tips. Going over the specs and doing the tour will definitively be a part of my self-learning. But I found that, for me anyway, you just can't beat the quality of a really good book :)

I finally have some time and a project idea to learn Go. I want to make a True Random Number Generator by reading raw files from a webcam aimed at a nearby tree. I figure I could diff images, hash that, etc.. This probably exists already but oh well.

Any pointers, word of advice, or should I just head into it? I'm not a very good developer, programming is more of a hobby and I'm only average in C#.

Go is a bad language for numerics. That said, it's as good a project as any to learn Go with; if it's what you want to do, go for it.

Well honestly the other contender is Rust, but it seemed exceedingly complicated for an amateur like myself. Go is easy, I've been told.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll stick to Go then :)
