In my early of my career, Java is the second language that I worked on my job, and as a developer came from Java World & one of the questions I always ask when start write a program with Go Lang is "How to use Dependency Injection in Go Lang?" & This book completed answering my question. Beside of that, it provides much useful knowledge to "Never Stop Aiming for Better." I love the format of this book; each chapter always ends with some question to remind you, do you understand what the author wants to show you in this chapter. And this book shows how to apply DI in many ways based on design principles like SOLID.

Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, yadda yadda. If you're looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf.
Read it and you'll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don't need outside investors, and why you're better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You don't need to be a workaholic. You don't need to staff up. You don't need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don't even need an office. Those are all just excuses
