   Even in a thesis, it may well be appropriate to start with a brief   
   tutorial to introduce the basic concepts of the language. Then one needs   
   to describe each concept and each construct clearly, although probably   
   in rather less detail than a language standard would.   
      
   For examples, your best bet look at successful published books: the   
   tutorial in _The C programming Language_ by Kernigan & Ritchie is   
   noticeably good and has been imitated several times.
