Mastering Nix: Writing Your First Derivation 3/n

Nix is a cutting-edge, immensely powerful tool that offers unique capabilities for developers, testers, and system administrators looking to create reproducible builds, environments, and setups. However, its complexity and steep learning curve can be daunting for many.

In this meetup, we’ll take a hands-on approach to writing your first Nix derivation. We’ll break down the fundamentals of package expressions, explore the Nix package model, and guide you through building, testing, and refining a derivation step by step. By the end of the session, you'll have a solid understanding of how Nix packages work and how to start integrating them into your own projects.
