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.

# Overview of timeout using `select`

The `select` statement randomly selects a case from all the case statements that are ready to execute. As the name suggests, the timeout pattern that uses select exits the `select` clause once the timer completes. Let’s suppose we’re running an infinite loop but need to end it after `x` seconds. In that case, the timeout pattern that uses select is very useful.

Let’s take another scenario. Say we are organizing a quiz, and the time to answer each question is one minute. We can easily use this pattern.


## Timeout for an entire conversation

Let’s look at the following code block. The `select` clause will exit after one second, no matter how many values the channel holds.
