Tutorials
Tutorials help you get started with Nix. They'll take you through the basics of what Nix is and how to use it, allowing you to learn Nix with little or no prior knowledge.
Ryan Yin's NixOS & Flakes Book
Ryan Yin's nix book is a great beginner guide to using Nix with flakes. It takes you from first principles through flakes. This is a missing area in the Nix documentation, as flakes are still experimental. Despite their experimental status, flakes are used in a lot of real-world projects and can make some tasks much easier, so it is still a good idea to learn about them.
