[Nix-dev] Blog post about Nix

[Sander van der Burg - EWI]

Eelco's PhD thesis explains more relevant concepts that you may want to know about. For example, what a store derivation (.drv file) is and why it is implemented like that.

You can download his thesis from his homepage: http://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/~dolstra/pubs/phd-thesis.pdf

Alternatively, I also have a blog covering various Nix related aspects as well as a number of (crazy) Nix applications: http://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com

Well, the inner workings of Nix being undocumented is incorrect - for
example, Eelco Dolstra wrote a PhD thesis where this topic is nicely
covered...
