 Once Thrust has been installed, these example programs can be compiled
 directly with nvcc.  For example, the following command will compile the
-norm example.
-  $ nvcc norm.cu -o norm
+`norm` example.
+
+```bash
+$ nvcc norm.cu -o norm
+```
 
 These examples are also available online:
-  https://github.com/NVIDIA/thrust/tree/main/examples
+https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/tree/main/thrust/examples
+
+For any serious experimentation, we recommend using CMake and [CCCL from GitHub](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl).
+We also provide consistent and convenient development environments as [devcontainers](../../.devcontainers/README.md).
