Hi Jayzee
I agree, our website is very poor. We're planning to improve it over the next week. There are quite a few hands-on programming examples and videos on our blog, at http://blogs.fluidinfo.com/ that might be helpful.
For example, http://blogs.fluidinfo.com/fluidinfo/2011/01/14/exploring-fluiddb-with… There's a programming category at http://blogs.fluidinfo.com/fluidinfo/category/programming/
I hope that helps! Please feel free to mail me (terry fluidinfo com) or drop by #fluidinfo on irc.freenode.org to ask questions or give us a hard time :-)
Thanks,
Terry Jones

Take a look at the FluidDB Weekend of Code[1] and pick a language that nobody's done yet, build a little library implementing their API in that language, and you'll end up with two new cutting-edge skills. (And a free book).
