I just notice a common pattern in a lot of these answers

* First, give a definition

* then some basic examples to clarify the concept

* then some advanced usage to demonstrate the advantages.

I tend to do it myself, maybe because a math concept has a clear definition and math courses do it too. However, it scares away a lot of people, including myself when I'm on the receiving end.
