A half-hour to learn Zig

This is inspired by https://fasterthanli.me/blog/2020/a-half-hour-to-learn-rust/

Basics

the command zig run my_code.zig will compile and immediately run your Zig program. Each of these cells contains a zig program that you can try to run (some of them contain compile-time errors that you can comment out to play with)

I started using React Native in September 2018. I always forget some things when I build new apps, so I'll keep track of the gotchas on this post.

Some topics, such as navigation, will be fundamental to how I think about apps. Others, will be one-line helpers that make apps work more smoothly.

It's gotten to the point where I find my own answers from 6 months before on certain Github issues.

I'll keep adding over time as I think of more. If anyone thinks these topics would be useful, let me know and I'll elaborate.

I have made libraries to address a number of the topics here, from navigation to design.

I recently had to move about 3TB of video footage between residential gigabit fiber connections. The fastest speed I could get was around ~150Mbps through Dropbox and other cloud providers, so I opted for a more direct answer.

After using Resilio Sync to buffer the files onto an Ubuntu Virtual Machine, I installed Tsunami. Using this I was able to get 600Mbps with no tuning, between a server in Los Angeles to my residential connection in Pittsburgh.

What it does:

• Very fast file transfers because it's UDP based

What it does not:

• Support the ability to transfer more than one file [1]
