Description

Bug: In the "Refactor the code" section, the 1st C# code is missing the client parameter that is needed.

The use of Write versus Writeline here detracts on understanding what is going on when running the example.
Step 2 of "Making HTTP Requests" could use a lot more explanation. The Accept header is doing what? Limiting the results to only application/json returns. Why the extra stuff (vnd.github.v3+)?
The User Agent string can be anything. Feel free to change this. What is Github doing with it, etc.
