As Moore’s Law is reaching the end of its lifecycle, the need for concurrency is rising and consequently, the need for a programming language that enables effective implementation of concurrent programs is rising too. For this reason, Go has become one of the most popular languages in recent times. This course aims to provide a detailed introduction to Go for beginners. Furthermore, it also articulates how Go is different from traditional programming languages that programmers are accustomed to in order to acquaint programmers getting ready to delve into Go with the language too.

An Introduction to Programming in Go

# About channels
Channels are pipes through which you can send and receive values using the channel operator, `<-`.

ch <- v    // Send v to channel ch.
v := <-ch  // Receive from ch, and
           // assign value to v.


(The data flows in the direction of the arrow.)

Like [maps](https://www.educative.io/courses/introduction-to-programming-in-go/maps-in-go/) and [slices](https://www.educative.io/courses/introduction-to-programming-in-go/slices-in-go/), channels must be created before use:


By default, sends and receives block wait until the other side is ready. This allows goroutines to synchronize without explicit locks or condition variables.
