Zig Libraries from C#: P/Invoke Signatures, Handles, Strings, and Platform Builds

A practical two-hour session on Zig Libraries from C#, focused on P/Invoke Signatures, Handles, Strings, and Platform Builds. The session treats Zig as a native component exposed through C-compatible boundaries, with attention to exported symbols, allocators, packaging, host-runtime tests, and failure handling.

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

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Zig Libraries from C#
• Apply P/Invoke Signatures in a small working example
• Apply Handles in a small working example
• Apply Strings 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.
