Advanced Programming in Go: Goroutines

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Goroutines are foundational components of Go's concurrency model. Goroutines may be considered units of execution in a Go program. Goroutines are very lightweight with small stack sizes. Consequently, millions of Goroutines may be spawned at about the same time on modest hardware. In this course, you'll explore Goroutines and how they implement the packages sync and sync/atomic. You'll investigate race conditions in Goroutines and explore race conditions versus data races. Next, you'll create and work with WaitGroups, implement atomic operations and see how mutexes are used with Goroutines. Lastly, you'll create and explore how to detect and avoid race conditions in Goroutines.
