The examples are useful, though to me they not part of the documentation collection, thus did not come to mind during this discussion.
Yet I found it easier first to run through Joe's tutorials before visiting the OSG examples. The tutorials builds up a usage knowledge foundation of commonly used classes, making it easier to follow the code of the examples. It made more sense doing it this way than jumping directly into the code. Having some background information on how OSG functions definitely makes it easier to work through the examples.
