Synopsis

An introductory and technical book for Zig, a new general purpose and low-level programming language. This book is designed for both beginners and experienced developers. It explores the exciting world of Zig through small and simple projects. Some of these projects are: a Base64 encoder/decoder, a HTTP Server and an image filter.

As you work through the book, you will learn:

  • The syntax of the language, and how it compares to C, C++ and Rust.
  • Data structures, memory allocators, filesystem and I/O.
  • Optionals as a new paradigm to handle nullability.
  • How to test and debug a Zig application.
  • Errors as values, and how to handle them.
  • How to build C and Zig code with the build system that is embedded into the language.
  • Zig interoperability with C.
  • Parallelism with threads and SIMD.
  • And more.
