Systems Programming with Zig (Manning)

Systems Programming with Zig shows you how to write quality, useful Zig applications without relying on libraries or frameworks-even if you’re new systems programming.

Garrison Hinson-Hasty

Why Zig?
Zig is a modern systems programming language that combines performance, reliability, and simplicity. It’s low-level enough for OS kernels, drivers, and embedded code, but also approachable for building libraries, utilities, and interpreters — all without bloated frameworks.

What you’ll learn in this book:

  • The Zig perspective on systems programming

  • Writing idiomatic, reliable Zig code

  • Integrating Zig with C, system libraries, and scripting languages

  • Building utilities, interpreters, and even graphics engines from scratch

Packed with practical projects — from a CHIP-8 interpreter to a graphics engine with OpenGL — this book shows how to build real-world Zig applications from the ground up.
