What you will learn

Fundamentals of concurrency - what it is, how it works in any language

The complete set of tools and techniques for implementing concurrency with the Go programming language

Confidence, experience and sample code to quickly implement concurrency into your own projects.

Downloadable resources include dozens of code samples, course slides, cheat sheets and more.

Coding challenge exercises after each major section to immediately use your new skills.

Concurrency, parallelism, IO bound vs CPU bound code, goroutines, wait groups, channels, race conditions, mutexes, condition variables, and more

Why take this course?

Are you ready to tackle one of the most exciting and important features of the Go language?


According to the most recent developer surveys, Go(lang) is one of the world’s most desired and loved languages, and its developers are among the highest paid in the world. Go is also the top language that companies are planning to migrate to, meaning that your Go skills are likely future-proof for many years to come.


Concurrency is considered to be a very advanced topic within Golang, and some comprehensive Go courses do not address it at all. Yet we believe that with just a reasonable number of hours of effort, you can be on your way, comfortable with concurrency and ready to add asynchronous features to your next programming project.


This course is for ANYONE getting started with concurrency, especially in the Go programming language. There are no strict prerequisites, but knowledge of computer programming principles and specifically the Go language will be very helpful, especially for the coding exercises.


This relatively short course covers ALL the essentials of concurrency - theory, syntax, coding examples, and downloadable copies of all visual materials.


Specifically, we will cover:


  • Concurrency theory, terminology, trends, benefits, and challenges

  • The difference between concurrency and parallelism / parallel programming

  • Goroutines

  • Blocking code

  • Wait groups

  • Channels

  • IO bound vs CPU bound code with examples of each

  • Race conditions

  • Mutexes

  • Condition variables

  • Atomic variables

  • Concurrency patterns


This course is offered at an affordable price, saving you weeks or months of digging through YouTube videos or purchasing other courses just to get up and running with concurrency.


Enroll today and be on your way! See you soon.


From recent students:


"The instructor is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. His presentations are clear and concise. Will seek out more courses from this instructor."


"Here's one of those courses that are short and sweet while covering the exact content you came for. Stan Vangilder delivers valuable, practical teachings on turning synchronous processes into fast, concurrent processes. One thing I appreciated from this course was gaining an in-depth understanding of how Golang differs from other languages when it comes to native support for concurrency for both IO-bound and CPU-bound processes. Plus, 'atomic variables' are no longer just a cool sounding piece of code I will skip over and learn about one day.  Thanks, Stan!"


"This exceptional course is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much Stan for explaining in such detailed manner and providing wonderful and easy to follow examples. I truly enjoyed this course and binged watched it like a Netflix show. I learned a lot. Really looking forward for your next courses with Go!"


"Awesome! the author has a nice tone of voice which makes easy to follow the topics. The examples used are excellent the understand the concepts, I highly recommend this course."


"Sir, that was a wonderful course, 5 stars easily. Are you planning on making other courses with Go?"


"Great instructor! I look forward to more courses from him. Thanks"


"I finished the course in a few hours and left u my feedback there, it's good content! Congratulations and let us know when u publish ur next course!"

Really liked how the example programs are laid out to describe each topic precisely. To the point and concise for each topic. Hope the course is updated whenever there are is any advanced topics related to concurrency in latest golang

this course is amazing for people that need to know more about Go and how to increase the performance of their code. I'm thankfull to adquired this cours.

Some suggestions: 1.) Please add eaxmple where we send waitgroup object address to a function, i.e., passing &wg 2) More examples of buffered channels and illustrations 3.) File handling related examples. Great course to gain confidence in concurrency: 1.) Course size is less thankfully. 2.) Covering CPU bound and I/O bound processes info 3.) Good examples of waitgroups and channels.

The course is very organized, one of best course I have done from Udemy. The instructor really took care architecting the course. 1. The course is detailed. 2. Concise. 3. Well planned with theory, quizzes and examples. Missing parts 1. Real life examples. 2. Testing concurrent code. May be the course can be even better with 1. Adding real life examples. 2. Adding section for testing concurrent code. 3. How go routines, channels, mutexes are used in real life code bases may be the instructor can show some Github popular codebases for reference. 4. How to take advantage of concurrency while writing packages e.g log package.

I would recommend, good to get started with Go, as the course went in to more advanced topics it would have been good to have more examples to test yourself. Even if it didn't come with video explanation just problem and solution code samples would have been great!

I learned a lot from this course, it was very helpful. It felt like Section 10 was a little rushed and lacking the detail of the other sections, such as a quiz or exercise, and although it is titled "Concurrency Patterns" it only covered a single pattern. Also it wouldn't have taken much effort to format the code to make it a little more readable.

I like your way of explanations and showed examples, even the idea with exercises seems to be nice one, the only thing which i was missing here was some kind of projects which would require to be completed for some chapters to get better understanding the concept of chapter, and quizzes could ask more questions too :) .. but the course experience it is very good

You covered all concurrency concepts and programs within 2hours with detailed explanation, that's great. I did not get fully on worker pools and what situation we should go for it. Thanks for the detailed session.

I wanted to better learn how to leverage concurrency in Go to improve performance in my own projects, and this course taught me exactly how to do so. I also found the Georgia accent soothing as I am from Tennessee!

What a wonderful professor! I can't wait for you to create literally any course, even if it is about hot to spent a weekend :)

1. The teacher does not write a single line of code. All he uses is just presentation only, no real works. 2. He does not explain the program a lot, he just says what the code does, he does not explain why the code does this. 3. Does not have any real world examples, all are very basic example which is not industry standard material.

Thanks Stan, very good explanations of Concurrency together with useable code that can be adapted for my requirements. You made a difficult subject very understandable. I still have some misunderstandings on Channels and race conditions but it will come. Thanks so much for your efforts and bringing this course to Udemy.

Great explanation. Good video to start for beginners who want to dive into golang concurrency. The exercise is not too easy or too hard. Some topics would be great to be included - when to use channels vs mutex in real case scenario - more about concurrency patterns and best practices using real case examples (current example (data backup) is great) - what next (any topics that will benefit for advanced/expert in concurrency)

A short and concise course focused on the concurrency features of Go. It does a great job of explaining concurrency issues and how to handle them in Go. Very much recommended

The course jumps in quickly and gets to essentials. Even after watching only the introductory video ("Quick Concurrency Demo"), I was able to fix a problem on a small concurrent project I had made earlier.
