I found the demonstration on 2D plotting to actually be the most informative and interesting, since I didn't realize a lot of the different graph functions were built into Matlab, such as bar graphs or error graphs etc. I did however enjoy the minesweeper demo the most, since it was interesting to see how Matlab formulated the graphical interface.
