  The useful documentation is hiding in here:

  well I shouldn't say useless. There some useful snipets of code. It seems to me that there is more support for javascript than C#.
  
  the reference guide is great. but...also some of the samples they put on are too advanced for people new to unity.
  
  
  I think the unity team should have samples such as:
  
  Collision samples
  Playing samples
  Spawning new objects from prefabs
  Animation samples
  Using keys samples
  
  Simple short tutorials... at least from new unity users.
  
  I found all the sample snipets I was looking for but from different places.
  Mostly from youtube, and people way to much there before they get to the point.

  Ah in the docs, there's usually a dropdown where you can switch from JavaScript (default) to C#.

  
  

  Spawning objects from prefabs. I use a meta reference for that.

  
  

  GameObject go = (GameObject)Object.Instantiate(ThePrefab);

  
  

  I cover this in the Paint Video Series, check the Unity docs it's the first set of video examples. Check the section under "Learn Unity".
