Zig Binary Header Parser: Magic Bytes, Version Fields, Bounds, and Tests

A practical two-hour session on Zig Binary Header Parser, focused on Magic Bytes, Version Fields, Bounds, and Tests. Zig is used realistically for systems tooling, C interop, parsing, build workflows, and performance-minded components rather than pretending it is a full web platform.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Zig Binary Header Parser
• Apply Magic Bytes in a small working example
• Apply Version Fields in a small working example
• Apply Bounds in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
