Zig Network Programming with std.net: TCP Clients, Servers, Buffers, and Timeouts

A practical two-hour session on Zig Network Programming with std.net, focused on TCP Clients, Servers, Buffers, and Timeouts. 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 Network Programming with std.net
• Apply TCP Clients in a small working example
• Apply Servers in a small working example
• Apply Buffers 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.
