The Zigbook was initially written by @zigbook, an experienced Systems programmer and Zig community member to fill gaps in the existing resources, and share that knowledge with others.

It has since grown into a a comprehensive guide to the Zig programming language, structured as a journey from fundamentals to advanced systems programming. It is designed for developers who want to understand, not just use; who value transparency over magic and precision over convenience.
