I'm with Ron on this one.  I would rather have the
explanation first, that way if I get code with it,
I may or may not be able to use it in my own stuff.

The biggest problem is people trying to write black
boxes for everything and saying here use this.  Only
after all your searching and browsing do you find out 
that you have two female connectors. DOH! (ie. Data
structures are RARELY compatible between software
components.)

Also, code is harder to read than english.  At least
I think so.

Just my 2cents,
