+## About this book
+
+This an open (i.e. it is open-source), technical and introductory book for the [Zig programming language](https://ziglang.org/),
+which is a new general purpose, and low-level programming language for building optimal and robust software.
+
+Official repository of the book: <https://github.com/pedropark99/zig-book>.
+
+This book is designed for both beginners and experienced developers. It explores the exciting world of Zig through small
+and simple projects (in a similar style to the famous "Python Crash Course" book from Eric Matthes).
+Some of these projects are: a Base64 encoder/decoder, a HTTP Server and an image filter.
+
+As you work through the book, you will learn:
+
+- The syntax of the language, and how it compares to C, C++ and Rust.
+- Data structures, memory allocators, filesystem and I/O.
+- Optionals as a new paradigm to handle nullability.
+- How to test and debug a Zig application.
+- Errors as values, and how to handle them.
+- How to build C and Zig code with the build system that is embedded into the language.
+- Zig interoperability with C.
+- Parallelism with threads and SIMD.
+- And more.
