Zig Systems Programming: Practical and Modern Low-Level Development: Understanding fundamentals, memory safety, build systems, cross-compilation, conc

By OWEN CROSSWELL

A pragmatic, project-driven guide to Zig for systems programmers. Starts with language fundamentals (types, error handling, comptime) and advances into memory management, C interop, build tooling, cross-compilation for embedded targets, concurrency and async primitives, and real systems projects: network servers, small OS kernels, and performance tools. Emphasizes safe, maintainable low-level code and performance tuning.
