[Nix-dev] Feedback on workshop material

[Bas van Dijk]

Great recording[1] of your introduction presentation on Nix. It would be
cool to have this or a slightly more polished version permanently in the
middle on the homepage of nixos.org.

Regarding the "Packaging" section, I liked how lethalman introduced[2]
packaging in his legendary Nix Pills series by beginning with the primitive
`derivation` function and building up from that. So I would advise doing
something similar before showing `stdenv.mkDerivation`.

I'm really looking forward to the workshop. See you there!
