PS: What's next, a C tutorial?
You may find this answer funny, but having C tutorial with skeleton for
driver development (examples: block, char devices, network MAC/PHYs,
etc.) would be quite helpful, instead of wading through hundreds
(thousands?) of NetBSD's handbook pages.
IMHO the assembly examples serve the same purpose. I always find more
practical to have small, understandable examples at hand rather than
overly-big-complex-documentation.
The less oubvious part is figuring out that these examples exist and
remain visible on the long run (now they are because we are talking
about them, but what about months/years later?). There are lots of
interesting stuff under /usr/share/examples and /usr/pkg/share/examples,
however most people/users do not know about this.
