Ziglings [0] is a series of small problems where you solve bugs in Zig code, and I enjoyed working through them. The readme claims "you are not expected to have any prior experience with... C." When I did ziglings I found the most difficult part was adjusting to the type syntax (which I now love). I admittedly know C very well, but assuming you already know a language with a C-like syntax (C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, Rust, etc.) most things like functions, control flow, variables, statements map to Zig with only small syntactic differences. One thing that may be difficult to learn not knowing C is working with strings, since they are just arrays of bytes. Most other languages have a string type, but Zig is much more like C in that strings are null-terminated fixed-sized arrays of bytes. [0] https://github.com/ratfactor/ziglings |
