Zig: Modern Systems Programming Without a Hidden Control Flow

Learn Zig programming: no hidden allocations, comptime execution, cross-compilation, C interop without a build system, error handling, and the Zig build system. Step-by-step with examples.

Zig Basics — Variables, Functions, Control Flow, and Memory

Learn Zig fundamentals: explicit memory management, comptime execution, optional types, error handling, and zero-cost abstractions for systems programming.

Zig Error Handling — Error Sets, Error Union Types, try, and catch

Learn Zig's error handling model: error sets, error union types (E!T), try/catch semantics, stack traces, and the zero-overhead error system.

Zig Comptime — Compile-Time Computation and Metaprogramming

Learn Zig's comptime: compile-time execution, type reflection, generic functions, and comptime parameters.

Zig Allocators — Memory Management Strategies

Learn Zig's explicit memory management: allocator pattern, stack/arena/heap allocators, and manual deallocation.

Zig Build System — Build.zig, Dependencies, and Cross-Compilation

Learn Zig's build system: build.zig configuration, step dependencies, library linking, and cross-compilation targets.

Zig Networking — TCP, UDP, and HTTP Clients

Learn Zig networking: TCP servers and clients, UDP sockets, and building HTTP clients with the standard library.

Zig Structs and Enums — Custom Data Types with Methods

Learn Zig structs and enums: defining structs with fields and methods, enums with exhaustive switch, packed structs for binary layouts, and tagged unions.
