Go makes it so easy to write concurrent programs that sooner or later you will run into a deadlock. A deadlock is where your program (or part of it) just stops working for mysterious reasons.
This talk will explain what deadlocks are and why the Go deadlock detector isn't very useful in real world programs.
Deadlocks can be very difficult to find and fix and this talk will give lots of tips on how to figure out why your program deadlocked and how to fix it and avoid deadlocks in the future.
You will need an understanding of go routines, locking (sync.Mutex) and channels to get the most out of this talk. No previous deadlock experience required!
