Learn Concurrent Programming with Go

Learn Concurrent Programming with Go teaches readers how to boost the performance of their systems through the power of concurrent programming. It demystifies concurrency, explaining complex topics using simple language, easy-to-follow visuals, and relevant examples readers will face every day as a developer. Suitable for programmers who already know the basics of Go or another C-style language.

Write concurrent code in Go that improves application performance, scales up to handle bigger loads, and takes full advantage of modern multi-processor hardware.

Suitable for programmers who already know the basics of Go or another C-style language. No experience in concurrent programming required.

In Learn Concurrent Programming with Go you will learn how to:

• Implement effective concurrency for more responsive, higher performing, scalable software
• Avoid common concurrency problems such as deadlocks and race conditions
• Manage concurrency using goroutines, mutexes, readers-writer locks, and more
• Identify concurrency patterns such as pipelining, worker pools, and message passing
• Discover advantages, limits and properties of parallel computing
• Improve your Go coding skills with advanced multithreading

About the technology

Concurrent programming is essential for getting the most out of modern multi-processor computer hardware. It allows multiple tasks to execute and interact simultaneously, speeding up performance and reducing user wait time. Thanks to its baked-in concurrency models, Google''s Go is one of the best languages you can use to learn and apply concurrent programming to your systems.
