Favorite Demonstration

My favorite demonstration in Matlab Help Navigator is the "Programming" section. It goes through from "Programming Fundamentals", "Data Analysis", to "Object-Oriented Programming". The instructions are very helpful, not only because they provide huge amount of information (like codes, commands), but also because they explain why we should use this specific kind of programming method, and how we can effectively carry it out. So the demo doesn't stay on the technique level; it actually looks deeper into the logic behind the programming methods, which really helps me a lot.
