Write concurrent code in Go that improves application performance, scales up to handle bigger loads, and takes full advantage of modern multi-processor hardware. In Learn Concurrent Programming with Go you will learn how to: Implement effective concurrency for more responsive, higher performing, scalable software Avoid common concurrency problems such as deadlocks and race conditions Manage concurrency using goroutines, mutexes, readers-writer locks, and more Identify concurrency patterns such as pipelining, worker pools, and message passing Discover advantages, limits and properties of parallel computing Improve your Go coding skills with advanced multithreading
Learn Concurrent Programming with Go teaches you how to use concurrency to improve the performance of your Go applications. Each chapter poses a new problem that can be solved using concurrency and introduces the right approach to implement it in Go. In this easy-to-read tutorial, you'll delve into concurrency patterns, learn to dodge the most common pitfalls, and take advantage of Go's innovative approach to concurrency. Practical exercises at the end of each chapter help you practice your new skills to lock in what you've learned.

About the technology Concurrent programming is essential for getting the most out of modern multi-processor computer hardware. It allows multiple tasks to execute and interact simultaneously, speeding up performance and reducing user wait time. Thanks to its baked-in concurrency models, Google's Go is one of the best languages you can use to learn and apply concurrent programming to your systems. About the book Learn Concurrent Programming with Go teaches you how to boost the performance of your systems through the power of concurrent programming. It demystifies concurrency, explaining complex topics using simple language, easy-to-follow visuals, and relevant examples you'll face every day as a developer. You'll get an under-the-hood understanding of concurrency by building common concurrency tools like readers/writer locks, semaphores, and thread pools. By the time you're done reading, you'll be effortlessly coding concurrent applications in Go. You'll also have a great foundation to apply your new concurrency skills in almost any other language.
