Description

Questions that comes to all Developers is whether they are utilising the available Computing resource efficiently? 

Course Overview

The course could be divided into five parts.

  • Concurrency Primitives

  • Deep Dive into Concurrency Primitives

  • Concurrency Patterns

  • Context Package

  • Bonus Section - Interfaces

In the course we try to answer these questions.

Concurrency Primitives

  • What are the limitations of Threads?

  • What are advantages of goroutines over OS threads?

  • How do we avoid race condition?

  • How Channels are used to communicate data?

  • How do we implement timeout and non-blocking communication?

  • When do we use mutex and channels?

  • How to synchronise execution of goroutines?

  • How to detect race condition in Go?

Deep Dives into Concurrency Primitives

  • How Go scheduler works?

  • How does context switching works?

  • How channel send and receive works underneath?

Concurrency Patterns

  • How to construct streaming pipelines with Goroutines and Channels?

  • How to Fan-out and Fan-in computationally intensive stages?

  • How do we avoid Goroutine Leaks?

Context Package

  • How we can propagate request scoped data and cancellation signal across API boundaries?

Coding Exercises

  • Each concept is followed by a Coding Exercise.

  • Exercises blueprint are shared on Github.

Sample Applications

We will build

  • Blueprint of web crawler.

  • Image processing pipeline.

  • HTTP Server Timeouts with Context Package.

Bonus Section - Interfaces

  • How to define common behaviour between different objects as abstract type?

  • How Interface provides an abstraction for higher level functions?
