Lightening UI component examples not in documentation?

I'm taking a course which directed me to this link for reference docs - 
https://<myDomain>.lightning.force.com/auradocs/reference.app

When I go into the UI section and select a component (like inputSelect) then select the Examples tab, no examples are given (the course shows examples available for the component, styling and js).  Same goes for all the UI components from what I've checked.  I've checked in Chrome and Firefox. Any hints/tips?

The auradocs are a bit strange.  If you look at the overview tab, there are actually examples of using the ui:* components in there.  However, like you mentioned, these should probably be on the examples tab instead.

Otherwise, if you simply google for, say, "ui:inputText", you'll typically find links to the lightning component developer guide that should help you out (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/)

Also, there are a few community driven components out there that may help.  These are components that community members, ISVs, etc have developed on top of standard lightning components, to work better with the lightning design system, etc.  Some of my favorites can be found here: http://www.lightningstrike.io/

Hi James - thanks for your reply.  Tried the first link - it gives an overview of UI components but unfortunately for more detail references the link I'm having trouble with.  Lighteningstrike.io looks like a great resource, many thanks for the heads up.

(In case anyone else has the same issue and stumbles across this thread - this link provides a little more in terms of examples of the different bundle files - http://documentation.auraframework.org/auradocs/reference.app - see the UI section under components.  Unfortunately some odd formatting/displaying issues with the examples - might just be catching this midway through an update.  I was able to see the examples for the inputSelect by opening up the developer tools in chrome and then UNchecking the following css rules - )
