Zig Structs, Enums, and Tagged Unions: Modeling State Without Frameworks

A practical two-hour session on Zig Structs, Enums, and Tagged Unions, focused on Modeling State Without Frameworks. 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 Structs, Enums, and Tagged Unions
• Apply Modeling State Without Frameworks in a small working example
• Identify the testing and release checks needed before production use

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