If you want to do graphical stuff,
Amavect wrote some nice docs:

http://wiki.9front.org/libdraw-tips
http://wiki.9front.org/programming-gui

Other than that, just make yourself cozy.
Use a generic mkfile in your src dir like:

</$objtype/mkfile
TARG = `{ls | sed -n 's/\.c$//p'}
BIN = /$objtype/bin
</sys/src/cmd/mkmany

so you can just touch newproj.c and have a
quick mk 6.newproj && 6.newproj cycle,
then hook it straight into sam:

^echo w; window -cd src 'mk 6.newproj && 6.newproj; rc'

add it to the menu with the new M command
and you have a nice tight workflow. Get used
to the conventions. After a few basic programs,
the traditional learner project is to write a filesystem.
