What did you do?

When running the following command to create a new JSON entry , I got an error:

command :

$ curl http://localhost:8080/albums
--include
--header "Content-Type: application/json"
--request "POST"
--data '{"id": "4","title": "The Modern Sound of Betty Carter","artist": "Betty Carter","price": 49.99}'

Error :

$: command not found

/fix : In the above command

Replace

$ curl http://localhost:8080/albums \

with following

$ curl http://localhost:8080/albums/:id \

What did you expect to see?

"id": "4",
"title": "The Modern Sound of Betty Carter",
"artist": "Betty Carter",

The error about '$' not found is because you included the prompt $ in the command input. $ is conventionally the shell prompt, and shouldn't be included when copying into your terminal. Perhaps there's some html/css magic we could do to make this mistake harder to make.

Superficially, the tutorial looks correct.
