[Read this on the Web](http://golangweekly.com/issues/63) [Go Newsletter](http://golangweekly.com) Issue 63 — June 18, 2015 A LETTER FROM THE EDITORS First, I wish to apologize for sending this issue twice today. Do not adjust your set - this is deliberate :-) The reason is a certain link in the original email triggered Gmail's phishing detector and prevented many of you enjoying the newsletter. I've figured out that Gmail erroneously thinks domains containing hex numbers are hex IP URLs, even if they're just regular domains.. Thanks for your patience! And any questions, hit me up on Twitter at [@peterc](https://twitter.com/peterc), especially if you work at Gmail and want to fix the bug ;-) _- Peter Cooper_ Featured [Practical Cryptography With Go](https://leanpub.com/gocrypto/read?utm_source=golangweekly&utm_medium=email) A book that you can buy or read for free online here that presents an introduction to cryptography for developers and gives some practical use cases in Go.
