I did some very simplified examples in the 2009 style and upgraded them to the 2010 style this year.

You have to scroll down a bit to see the examples I worked with.
They seemed to help programmers I was working with, so I'll probably use these or 2011 variations again next season.
The examples in LabVIEW are nice because of the hardware wiring diagrams NI incorporated this past season, but I found they seemed to cause a lot of confusion among the more inexperienced programmers they are supposed to help. Programmers who'd gotten accustomed to the latest framework could use the built-in NI examples to understand how to incorporate some of the more complex, non-intuitive vi's.
Beginners seem to have trouble when an example gets too involved with more support elements and broader variations to complicate matters.
I think beginners need more drop in place code examples.
Intermediates & advanced programmers would probably benefit from a different style of more complex functions, but I'd still think keeping the examples as compact as possible benefits all groups.
