- How concurrency works in Go.
- The difference between concurrency and parallelism.
- How communication works in a concurrent program by using channels.
- How to write a program that runs faster by implementing concurrency.
- How to write dynamic programs that can use buffers to take advantage of concurrency when you want to launch a limited number of concurrent calls.
