Golang (Go) Concurrency: Hands-On Guide
What you'll learn
- Learners will gain a solid grasp of fundamental concepts related to concurrency in Golang, including goroutines, channels, and synchronization mechanisms
- Students will learn how to implement concurrent systems effectively
- Participants will become proficient in detecting and mitigating common concurrency-related issues such as data races and synchronization problems
- By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with the skills to optimize the performance of their Golang applications using concurrency
Requirements
- Learners should have a good understanding of the fundamentals of the Go programming language
- A basic knowledge of common data structures (arrays, lists, maps) will aid in understanding the examples and exercises involving concurrent programming
Description
Unlock the potential of concurrent programming in Go with this guide. Designed for intermediate and advanced developers, this hands-on course equips you with the skills needed to create efficient, responsive, and scalable software solutions.
Dive into the world of Golang concurrency as you explore the key pillars of concurrent processing: goroutines, mutexes, condition variables, wait groups, atomic operations, channels, and more.
The course takes you further, enabling you to eliminate data races and ensure data integrity across multi-threaded applications.
How you follow this course:
All classes in this course are practical. It does not mean that you won't understand the concepts, quite the contrary! Before starting coding, I introduce you to what we're going to cover, explaining the language concepts and showing diagrams. Only after this we code.
Each class has its own code snipped attached to it, if you don't want to code along with the course, you can download the snippet and follow from there.
We also have a quiz in the end of each class, so you can test yourself and make sure you understood what was covered. It's not mandatory, as also the review class, but I highly recomend you to go through it.
Hope you enjoy it.
Who this course is for:
- If you have a good understanding of Go fundamentals, this course will empower you to leverage the power of concurrency for enhanced performance and responsiveness
- Backend developers who work with Golang-based server applications will find this course valuable for learning how to manage concurrent requests efficiently, ensuring scalability and responsiveness in their projects
- If you have experience in other programming languages and want to transition to Go, this course will help you bridge the gap by teaching you how to apply your existing concurrency knowledge to the Go programming environment
