Zig Dependency Review: Zig Packages, C Libraries, Licenses, and Build Risk

A practical two-hour session on Zig Dependency Review, focused on Zig Packages, C Libraries, Licenses, and Build Risk. 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 Dependency Review
• Apply Zig Packages in a small working example
• Apply C Libraries in a small working example
• Apply Licenses 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.
