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 previous lesson, we learned how to break out of channel operations in the select statement. Now what if we want to break out of channel communications after a certain period of time?

This will be done using the `time.After` function which is imported from the `time` package. It returns a channel that blocks the code for the specified duration. 
After that duration, the channel delivers the current time but only once.

Let's have a look at an example using the `time.After` function:

This lesson will introduce you to a pattern which uses the `time.After` function in a select statement.
