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

In the code below, you will find two goroutines which represent our players and send messages over channels signaling `Buzz` to the main routine. Now the problem with the code below is that `channel1` blocks the code, which implies that we can't receive any message from `channel2` until we receive a message from `channel1`. Therefore, if player 2, i.e. the second goroutine *buzzes* before player 1, we'll never be able to know!




Let's implement a buzz game using the tools we have learnt so far!
