Can I suggest adding links (perhaps not real hyperlinks, but
conceptual links at least) from the API documentation to the relevant
API examples?

I think you'd get a lot more value from the work you put into the API
demos this way.

Also, I'd concur with the recent comment, but not the tone, that a lot
of the API demo classes are quite poorly named. Even if you know that
there IS an API demo for what you want to find, it can quite difficult
to locate it.

Think of it as, the API demos could use a bit more product marketing
to get them to their intended audience. :=)
