Concurrency is one of the signature features of Go, one of the things that even non-Go developers have heard about. However, just because Go makes it easy to launch concurrent processes, that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to use concurrency properly. In this talk, Jon Bodner covers the basics of concurrency, when to use it, and some of the patterns to follow when you need it. We’ll also take a quick look at mutexes, when they are appropriate, and their limitations.
Jon Bodner has been a software engineer, lead developer and architect for over 20 years. In that time, he has worked on software across many fields, including education, finance, commerce, healthcare, law, government, and internet infrastructure.
Jon is a Distinguished Engineer at Capital One, where he has contributed to their development and testing workflow, developed patented techniques for web payment page detection and population, and co-authored tools for finding and managing software development issues.
