Since the 1.0 release of the Go programming language in 2012, developers have enjoyed the increased productivity brought by the easy-to-read, quick-to-learn, cross-platform design of Go. Web apps and system utilities around the world are being built with Go to rapidly deliver reliable performance. Learning the language is easy, due to its centralized documentation and great programming environment support. Creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) with Go, however, is still very new and there is not yet a standardized UI toolkit.

This definitive guide to programming GUIs with Go explores the most popular GUI packages available. It compares the vision behind each toolkit to help you pick the right approach for your project. Each toolkit is described in detail, outlining how to build beautiful, performant applications that users will love. Code samples and screenshots will aid any level of Go developer to create applications using these emerging technologies.
