Let me just take the opportunity to add that I consider Mark Boon's Tesuji 
Software Go Library (from Goliath) one of the best possible starting points 
for aspiring Go programmers. Such a shame it is not online anymore, and 
really an awful shame it did not receive the attention it deserves.

Among other things, the library contains an incredibly fast ladder-reading 
algorithm. In addition there are lots of gems about how to design fast data 
structures for Go (reusing/pooling arrays etc.) + loads of low level 
"secrets" (for instance, the trick of using a single dimension array with 20 
elements per row for the board, as David mentioned in an earlier post).
