First code block: the line if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed || Keyboard.GetState().IsKeyDown(Keys.Escape)) is long enough that it doesn't display totally on a 1800px wide resolution. I recommend using a new line so that there is not horizontal scroll bar.
In addition, I suggest using parenthesis after the condition, to teach the best practices to beginner.

if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed 
    || Keyboard.GetState().IsKeyDown(Keys.Escape))
{
    Exit();
}

Line 73: The first thing you'll notice [...] two instance member fields; a GraphicsDeviceManager ';' is probably a typo and should be changed to ','.

Personal opinion : When the base method is called, this is when the graphics device object is instantiated. => The graphics device object is instantiated when the base method is called.

Line 132: missing interrogation point at the end of line.

@titanix Thanks for the feedback, I forgot to update this repository to mention that everything is now moved into a draft PR with the actual documentation repository at MonoGame/docs.monogame.github.io#85

As each chapter is written, it is put as a PR in my fork at https://github.com/AristurtleDev/docs.monogame.github.io/tree/2d-tutorial-bounty where I post for feedback from community and final approval from MonoGame foundation before merging that chapter into the draft PR.

Future feedback should be left in these places.

Again i apologize for the confusion and lack of me updating this repository since moving to the new system. I will have an update on the bounty issue in the MonGame repo soon to explain this
