I set about working on the first actual lesson in C# on the msdn site, which, typically, is the near-mandatory “hello world!” program. The lesson has the code in a little code box (to preserve formatting) and instructs you to paste it into the C# program window and run it.
Except the example code leaves off a closing brace and the code generates an error message instead of running at all.
I’ve already learned more than the lesson intended thanks to its inept execution. However, skimming through the remainder, the phrase “you get what you pay for comes to mind” so I am mulling over other sites/lessons/books before jumping back in. I should still have more to report shortly, though.
