An interesting comment on the crypto section over on HN by someone who knows this area:

So this is not a good guide on cryptography; the examples given in this book are somewhat out of date and are more academic examples to illustrate a point than something you should use as a guide. There's a good link on Go crypto here from someone at coreos:

The book is also quite old (2012) and written by someone more familiar with Java, so it should not be taken as a style guide or example implementation but is a good overview of the areas you'd need to cover in writing network services with Go.
Is this out of date or does most of it still hold, the preamble says 2012 which is quite a while ago?
Parts are out of date and it is certainly not a definitive reference, more an overview of the topic, but still interesting. The author is more familiar with Java than Go according to the intro so bear that in mind too.
