Authentication is a serious business. Posting code examples for beginners to follow is likely to either be too complex to be a good example or too simple to be a good authentication process.
Also, I think a lot of "the experienced users" are building real-world apps that are proprietary in nature, especially around a sensitive topic such as authentication/authorization. We built our own OAuth 2 server-side stuff on top of Apache OLTS (which is very poorly documented) and it's both too complex to be a useful example -- an Auth Server, a Login Server, and a separate API Server that uses access/refresh tokens with the Auth Server -- and also includes proprietary logic that would be hard to detangle, even if the overall code was simple enough to serve as a useful example :( I found a lot of stuff about client-side OAuth 2 authentication -- which is the simplest part of the process and there are libraries out there for interacting with Twitter, Facebook, GitHub, and other OAuth 2/OpenID providers -- but there seemed to be almost nothing about writing the server-side stuff (and even when I found OLTS I pretty much had to work from the Java source code and the OAuth 2 RFC to figure it all out).
