Signals with Go

This is a 2 part series composed of the following articles:

1. Using Signals With Go

In this article we explore what signals are and how we can listen for them in Go programs. We also explore some common pitfalls, like forgetting to stop listening for a signal once we are done with it.

2. Signals via Context

This article builds upon the "Using Signals with Go" article and explains how to use the NotifyContext function to listen for signals via a context object.
