Mastering concurrency can make you a much more in-demand developer on the job market. It's becoming an increasingly important concept in modern programming as multi-core devices become more and more prevalent.

The good news is that Go has some outstanding support for concurrency out of the box that makes implementation a breeze. In fact, concurrency in Go is easier to implement and faster than in any other major language.

In this course, you'll start off with a general introduction to concurrency and build up to more advanced concepts and implementation in Go. You'll also have a chance to go through some common patterns that will make your life easier and your code more efficient. By the time you're done, you'll be able to make use of Go to write efficient, practical applications that use concurrency.

Mastering Concurrency in Go

If you were able to understand the previous lesson, you should be more clear on the code provided in the lesson on deadlocks.




package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
	mychannel := make(chan int)
	mychannel <- 10
	fmt.Println(<-mychannel)
}

Now you'll be fully clear on why the above code didn't work. This is because of the sending and receiving operations which are blocking the code. When we wrap one of them in a goroutine such that they are ready to unblock each other, the program executes successfully. 



This lesson will introduce you to a type of channels known as Buffered Channels.
