shader tutorial for unity

Question

I would like to start developing my own shaders within unity.

For starters I would like to do a screen spaced blur.

Are there any good tutorials to learn shader development besides the official unity documentation, which i find a bit hard to understand?

probably better to ask on answers.unity3d.com it's like Game Development but just for unity. — David Young, Mar 15 '11 at 23:06
@David the signal/noise ratio on Unity Answers has gotten pretty bad. Here's probably a better resource: forum.unity3d.com/forums/16-ShaderLab — Tetrad♦, Mar 16 '11 at 4:53

I think this is what you are looking for: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cg_Programming/Unity. The tutorials are organized in an increasing difficulty order and each was written with Unity in mind.

Easy to understand tutorial

And the following wiki book helped me much

Don't forget Jessy's video tutorials

And some Unity3D resources really helped me to build up the basics
