Documentation: Where is System.ActorOf() introduced?

[jtaylor100]

As Part 1: Top-level Architecture reads:

As we have seen in the previous chapters, to create a top-level actor one must call System.ActorOf().

This method doesn't seem to be mentioned in any of the previous chapters of the doucmentation as visible on https://getakka.net (e.g. 'What is Akka.NET?', 'What are actors?' or 'Akka.NET Libraries and Modules').

I had to browse the API docs to learn how to create an instance of ActorSystem with ActorSystem.Create. These tutorials should cover this step.

Have you tried learnakka.net for tutorials ?

This issue isn't that I can't find how to do something. It's something that can be improved in the tutorials on https://getakka.net .

In that section of the akka.io documentation, they reference a QuickStart guide that has the System.ActorOf() bits included.

It looks like a simple oversight when porting the docs over to our site. Should be a relatively easy fix to explain what it is especially
with the diagram just a few sentences away.

You're welcome to send a PR if you want =)

Sure thing! I'll submit it when I have some more time.

Feel free to assign the issue to me if you wish.
