Zen of Zig

Programming Book Series

Hi! I'm Omer, a dev from Madrid.
Zen of Zig is a book series that teaches the Zig programming language from the ground up, but overall it's a passion project about the joy of programming.
I have to admit, though, that coding right now is not for everyone - not anymore, in this AI-generated, one-shot "make me whatever", "now I know kung-fu" world. Zen of Zig is my personal no-holds-barred manifesto against the AI-slop avalanche we're currently living through.

Each chapter in the first volume includes playgrounds, so you can experiment with the code directly in the browser. I keep all the books up to date with the latest stable version of Zig (and yes - it changes a lot, and at least for me, that's one of the fun parts).
