Thread-Safety in Go – An Overlooked Concern @ The Go Conference, Japan, 2021

In PresentationTags concurrency, conference, thread-safetyLeave a comment

This year, I'll be giving a talk about Thread-Safety in Go - a subject often neglected in many training materials on Go Concurrency at The Go Conference, Japan.

In the talk, we'll cover what thread-safety is at all, why one should care even if we have channels and Goroutines. We'll go through several examples which illustrate non-thread-safe code and how to resolve the issues.

Throughout this process, we'll learn about stateless functions, shared mutable state, delegating thread-safety, atomic compound actions and my favourite - visibility.

And most importantly, in the end I'll provide some guidance on where to learn more about the subject and gain a more complete understanding of concurrency.

So if any of that sounds interesting, I'll see you there. The conference is held online and there are still some tickets left.

The talk will be held at 15:40 GMT+9 (Japan).

I'll see you there!

I had the opportunity to visit the city of Plovdiv last year for my talk at TEDxPlovdiv, and I have to say, I loved it. If you ever get a chance to visit it, I would suggest you go to their big statue atop a hill overlooking the whole city.

And I am very excited that this year, I will be visiting the city again. But this time, it would be for my talk at PlovDev - the biggest annual developer conference in Plovdiv.

This year, the event will be hosted on 24 November at Eccoplexx Cinema. There will be more than 200 attendees, many of which are students from local universities.

The talks we see in the agenda this year mainly touch the web development space - REST APIs, Microservices, SignalR. But there will be some diversity as well, as my topic is called Blockchain - The Game Changer.

In it, we will touch some of the most basic and common use cases of Blockchain, and we will go through a technical introduction to the technology by a developer for developers.

I am very excited about this event and can't wait for it to come. If you feel the same way, want to meet some awesome people from Plovdiv, want to hear some pretty cool talks, then I will see you at Eccoplexx Cinema, 24 November.

Java2Days is the biggest annual Java conference in Bulgaria. There, you can meet some of the greatest professionals from the Java world in Bulgaria and not only. Apart from that, you will be able to hear some of the hottest topics from the Java world nowadays - Java Architecture, Backend, Android, JVM languages and much much more. But the greatest surprise is that for the first time ever this year, you will be able to hear a Blockchain topic as well. And I'm very happy to tell you that I will be leading it. For the second time, I am honored to be among the Java2Days speakers line-up. On Java2Days, this year, we will be learning Blockchain. This new technology with the potential to revolutionize the way we interact and live. But you will not merely listen to some dry theories about it. We will be learning it, by building it from scratch. We will address concepts like nodes, mining, synchronization, proof of work, addresses and much much more. So if you don't want to fall behind and learn about the potential Blockchain can bring to your business and industry, come to Java2Days on 27-29 November. I will be waiting for you there!
