Personally, I would love to see examples of best practices in action. Early on in the days of Flex, there were lots of cobbled together examples that worked, but that weren't easily re-workable. Even today, when you look at tutorials on developing for multiple resolutions, there are lots of "here's a way you can do it" but when you try to use it for a real world use case, they don't really provide full examples for how to handle the resolutions of an non-retina iPhone, iPhone 4/4S, 5, iPad, and iPad Retina from within the same application and have your UI adapt.
While I am not necessarily advocating that we create a component library for all these use cases so new devs have all the building blocks provided to them, what I am advocating is showing examples of how one would actually do the code for a production application, and not just for a demo.
