I’ve found it most helpful to review other people’s configurations to learn Nix.
Some specific ones I really like:
https://github.com/malob/nixpkgs
https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles
I keep a not comprehensive GitHub Stars list of Nix stuff I find here if you want more:

If you aren’t familiar, Nix-Darwin allows you to codify your MacOS deployments in a fashion comparable to NixOS. As a huge Nix-Darwin user myself, I have found malob’s repo extremely helpful for ideas with MacOS configuration. Nix-Darwin has made me so happy as a MacOS user. :)
Some other unsolicited tips:
1. Start with Nix flakes for configuration
2. Invest in Home-Manager before NixOS or Nix-Darwin
3. Ask people for help in Matrix or Discourse — my experience is that Nix-related folk are very welcoming and understanding
Good luck!
