Concurrency is considered to be the one of the most attractive features of Go. Adopters of the language revel in the simplicity of its primitives to express correct concurrency implementations without the pitfalls that usually come with such endeavors. This chapter covers the necessary topics to understand and create concurrent Go programs, including the following:

• Goroutines

• Channels

• Writing concurrent programs

• The sync package

• Detecting race conditions

• Parallelism in Go
