## The Ziglings Audience
Ziglings is intended for programmers of all experience levels. No specific
language knowledge is expected. If you can install the current Zig snapshot,
setup a copy of Ziglings, and understand if/then/else, loops, and functions,
then you're ready.
Ziglings is intended for programmers of all experience levels. No
specific language knowledge is expected. Anyone who can install
the current Zig snapshot, setup a copy of Ziglings, and knows
common language building blocks (if/then/else, loops, and
functions) is ready or Ziglings.
Experience with strong typing, manual memory management, and certain language
constructs and idioms will greatly increase the speed at which you'll be able
to tackle each exercise. But speed isn't important, only learning is important.
Ziglings is intended to be completely self-contained. If you
can't solve an exercise from the information you've gleaned so
far from Ziglings, then the exercise probably needs some
additional work. Please file an issue!

No mistake is too small. The Ziglings must be perfect.

I prefer to actually write all of the content myself at this time (part of the
reason I'm building Ziglings is to learn Zig myself!), but I'm always open to
ideas.

## Platforms and Zig Versions
Because it uses the Zig build system, Ziglings should work wherever Zig does.

If you run into an error in Ziglings due to language changes (and you have the
latest development build of Zig and the latest commit to Ziglings), that's a
bug! Please file an issue.

## Formatting
All exercises are (or should be) formatted with `zig fmt`.
All exercises should conformt to `zig fmt`. I often forget to do
this.
