Key benefits

  • Learn about the Go concurrency primitives, Go memory model, and common concurrency patterns
  • Develop the insights on how to model solutions to real-life problems using concurrency
  • Explore practical techniques to analyze how concurrent programs behave

Description

The Go language has been gaining momentum due to its treatment of concurrency as a core language feature, making concurrent programming more accessible than ever. However, concurrency is still an inherently difficult skill to master, since it requires the development of the right mindset to decompose problems into concurrent components correctly. This book will guide you in deepening your understanding of concurrency and show you how to make the most of its advantages. You’ll start by learning what guarantees are offered by the language when running concurrent programs. Through multiple examples, you will see how to use this information to develop concurrent algorithms that run without data races and complete successfully. You’ll also find out all you need to know about multiple common concurrency patterns, such as worker pools, asynchronous pipelines, fan-in/fan-out, scheduling periodic or future tasks, and error and panic handling in goroutines. The central theme of this book is to give you, the developer, an understanding of why concurrent programs behave the way they do, and how they can be used to build correct programs that work the same way in all platforms. By the time you finish the final chapter, you’ll be able to develop, analyze, and troubleshoot concurrent algorithms written in Go.

Who is this book for?

If you are a developer with basic knowledge of Go and are looking to gain expertise in highly concurrent backend application development, then this book is for you. Intermediate Go developers who want to make their backend systems more robust and scalable will also find plenty of useful information. Prior exposure Go is a prerequisite.

What you will learn

  • Understand basic concurrency concepts and problems
  • Learn about Go concurrency primitives and how they work
  • Learn about the Go memory model and why it is important
  • Understand how to use common concurrency patterns
  • See how you can deal with errors in a concurrent program
  • Discover useful techniques for troubleshooting

Over the last decade of working with Go, I've read a lot of books. There are some good ones, classics even, but there's always been a hole waiting to be filled by one that truly displays the process of concurrency, and the patterns that are derived from it, in a fashion that is instantly accessible, understandable, and usable by the mass of programmers that long for it. The title, "Effective Concurrency in Go" does not even begin to express how possible this is.From the preface (highly recommended to read) to the index (extremely useful for reference), this book hits most of the right notes. Burak walks the user through real situations that we hit every day, in a cohesive fashion from start to finish. However, what really gets me is not the relevance of his source code, nor the conciseness of how he proceeds through each example towards a greater step, but the care he takes to make sure that even the beginner can understand the leaps that he is making (whilst not leaving the expert behind).I have posted a few examples of Mr. Serdar's care, but it is the tip of the iceberg. Even experts will find that there are things to be discovered.For example, in chapter 4 I've found the concurrency problems reasons to consider how I do things. The dining philosophers problem was an excellent pick. It details concurrency as a scaleable construct and demonstrates how restricted resources can be shared among the pool, whilst keeping memory access in mind. The pattern he puts forth can serve as a foundation for many problems we face today. It also leads into solutions like rate limiting that are readily a question for a Go architect on most greenfield projects.There are sections and things that hound us as well: error handling, race conditions, and even streaming, that have been covered in other fine books. Yet, not so engagingly; not with the sense of immediate application. The real strength of this book lies in the fine line that it plays between cookbook and theology. You can immediately use most of the material, but you learn so much about why you are using it, that you may never code the same way again - I know that I won't be.Of note, having read both the physical and the ebook, I do recommend the physical copy. Many of the code samples and architectural figures read better on a two page basis. The ebook is not deficient in any form, but that the book is formatted better for viewing the code and content together side by side. I have posted an example later in the book of debugging that takes advantage of this feature.This is a book that I will share with my friends widely. Burak Serdar has produced a shining star that I could only hope to put out there. It's as solid a foundation as many put out before, but more accessible by far! Maybe skip the other concurrency books and come straight here!

This book covers the specific topic of concurrency using Go. The author’s experience is evident, and the book’s organization and content are ideal. Topics covered include an overview of concurrency, the Go memory model, Goroutines, channels, and primitives. The common concurrency problems are addressed as are worker pools and pipelines. Error handling, timers, and tickers are also covered.Readers should already be familiar with the Go language. This is well worth the purchase and time to read it.

Golang is relatively easy. But using channels, wait_groups, etc to come up with concurrency patterns requires a lot of open-source codebase exposure. I think this book has tried to jot down all the relevant patterns to ease the process of learning these patterns.

This is a well- written book which helps in strengthening your understanding of concurrency and will also teaches you how to make use of it. It teaches you how concurrent programs can be used to build correct programs that work the same way in all platforms. The author has provided valuable knowledge by using multiple examples in the book. It gives insights on how to model solutions to real life problems using concurrency. There is so much to learn from the book and I highly recommend it.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.
