I've been writing in golang since the past year but I realize there is a lot I can improve in the way I'm writing go. Interested to know the best practices to be followed. Thanks again
Read "Effective Go" on the Golang main page. Its a pretty good primer on how to document, naming conventions, and other things for your code.
The Go standard library is excellent. When I wrote Go I always used it for reference and best practices. No other open source project really came close in my opinion except for other Google Go projects.
