Aside from the official docs and wikis, I find the nixpkgs repository[1] extremely useful as a reference and is definitely one of the things that make me love Nix. It helped me a lot to get started. Any official package from Nix belongs to this single repository, making it easy to see what other packages are doing. If I want to see how python packaging is done, I simply search "python" in the nixpkgs repository. It's also easier to grasp what is going on in nixpkgs than other packaging systems. The Nix expression language offers better readability than say, RPM spec files. Meanwhile the nixpkgs repository includes support for numerous build systems and frameworks. This combined allows you to create packages with minimal effort most of the time. [1]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs
