Master Zig's blend of safety and performance by building real-world systems applications, and learn memory management through to compile-time execution to create reliable software with full control and zero hidden behaviors Key Features Write high-performance code with Zig's clear, no-surprises approach to control flow Discover memory management techniques to get complete control without sacrificing safety or introducing complexity Build portable apps with Zig's powerful build system and seamless C interoperability for real-world problem-solving Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book DescriptionSystem programming has long forced developers to choose between safety and performance, but Zig changes the game with its no hidden control flow philosophy and explicit resource management. If you've struggled with memory leaks, undefined behavior, or cryptic compiler errors, Zig offers an alternative that puts you back in control. Alex Rios, a seasoned software engineer with experience building high-throughput systems across fintech, telecom, and gaming industries, brings his unconventional system design approach and offers insight into Zig, as someone who's seen the limitations of existing languages firsthand. You'll get to grips with Zig's safety-centric design fundamentals, which will guide you through setting up your app development environment and writing your first programs. You'll then explore Zig's distinctive features in depth, such as explicit error handling, manual memory management, and compile-time execution. The book tackles each topic with a blend of technical depth and wit, ensuring you grasp not just the how but also the why behind Zig's design decisions. By the end of this book, you'll be ready to build a complete application that interacts with the OS, third-party libraries, and C dependencies, as well as engage with Zig's growing community and contribute to its ecosystem.What you will learn Find out how to maintain low-level control over system resources Set up a Zig development environment across different operating systems Organize maintainable projects with proper structure and build systems Implement error handling using Zig's unique approach to managing failures Leverage Zig's standard library effectively for everyday programming tasks Build applications that use files, external libraries, and C code Cross-compile and package Zig applications for multiple platforms Who this book is forThis book is for developers looking to master efficient and safe programming with Zig. The target audience includes system programmers exploring manual memory management and safety features, embedded systems developers building high-performance software, WebAssembly enthusiasts creating web applications, programmers transitioning from Go or JavaScript for better control over memory and performance, and C/C++ developers seeking simplicity and low-level control without sacrificing safety or performance.
