Go (also known as Golang) is one of the most popular languages today and is a key part of many enterprise tech stacks. Because Go's memory management architecture makes concurrency easier, many developers prefer it over traditional languages.

In this course, you will learn the core constructs and techniques of Go as well as advanced concepts of the language. In particular, you’ll learn how to program efficiently by becoming aware of the pitfalls and patterns that are commonly encountered in Go and by building your own applications.

Once you’ve completed this course, you will be able to write concurrent programs and improve the performance of existing ones, thus creating a more robust experience for everyone. Concurrency is in high demand today since it enables developers to reduce execution time of applications significantly, and Golang provides a very rich support for achieving this.

Concurrency in Go

# The `Atomic` package

The `atomic` package provides low-level atomic operations on the memory, which are very useful for implementing synchronization algorithms. Before execution on hardware, the compiler converts the code into low-level atomic statements. But merging several atomic statements doesn’t lead to an atomic block-of-code, and the atomic operation is lockless.

Let’s take a straightforward example to understand the atomic operation. First, let’s see the unsynchronized code. We can use a `mutex` to solve this as well.
