Resources to Go Further
=======================

#. `NixOS's website`_ contains the official and up-to-date Nix documentation. It includes various manuals and guides: Entry-level tutorials, and tutorials that go deeper about how Nix works such as `Nix pills`_.
#. learnNixInYMinutes_ gives a dense overview of the Nix Expression Language.
#. Exploring `Nixpkgs`_ functions and packages can be a great source of inspiration.
#. Exploring simpler package repositories such as kapack_ can also be a good source of inspiration.

Otherwise, here is random list of Nix-related resources.

- `nix-user-chroot`_ enables to use Nix without root permissions (*e.g.,* on a Grid'5000 frontend).
- Lorri_ is a nix-shell replacement that tries to maximize comfort while developing projects.
- `NixOS wiki on pinning Nixpkgs`_
- `NixOS wiki on customizing packages`_
