Needless to say, I did not have the patience (nor persistence!) to decipher those error messages; most of my efforts lay in copying textbook examples from the documentation and modifying them piece by piece, checking their compilability at every step, until they matched what I ultimately wanted. Writing anything complex directly was an invitation to be faced with an incomprehensible screen-filling error message (often more than one), and endless hours of randomly modifying random bits of syntax in hopes that the error will somehow, magically, go away.
