Why did the tomato blush?
Because it saw the salad dressing.

I corn see that this is somehow going to inspire:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Since no one wanted to solve it!
THUNDERSTRUCK
was the solution.

if(this.signature != "")

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

else

}

Even with the three hints and a solution, I'm still none the wiser...

Well, actually what I said was "I'm feeling pretty think today" but that kinda proves the point, really.

on you signature code you should be using string.Empty, not "".

Not again
next thing you are telling me is that if i use this.signature in the if i should use it in the messageBox also.
Why don'T you leave that code broken as it is?

Either string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.signature) or string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(this.signature) would be a better choice.

I was interested in online learning in an attempt to help someone new to code.
I stumbled upon LaunchAcademy.com (a bootcamp). Costs $15,000! What?
Then, in the "what language will I learn" section there is this:
Java is one of the oldest* programming languages and is _readable on many different platforms_. This means it is easier for developers to write a string of code that can be run on just about anything.
Python, like Ruby, emphasizes readability and allows developers to create powerful programs with fewer lines of code than Java or C++. (1)
Oldest*?
Oh, right let's forget about C++, C, Ada, Fortran, COBOL, ad infinitum...
"readable on many different platforms"
Uh, you can generally read any source code on any platform. Running however...
But even worse, if you look up Java and Python on wikipedia you will see :
Python : first appeared around 1991
Java: first appeared around 1995
If I had any confidence in the $15,000 program before reading that, it was at that point that it evaporated.

Other than C/C++; none of those are reasonable choices for new development; and thus irrelevant to the target audience. Python might have a few more years on the odometer; but AFAIK lingered in obscurity for a while vs Java exploding all over the place when first released.

The humor of the situation was lost on you.
You are correct about all of your points, but far less funny than the incongruity of calling Java "one of the oldest languages".

Ahem. If you're doing mathematical processing, Fortran is still a fine choice today.

And if you're writing financial transaction software to run on a mainframe for a large >50 year old bank, COBOL is a fine choice today. Likewise for ADA and DoD Avionics.
All're very small niches today; and poor choices to start with if you're interested in general employability within a few weeks as seems to be the main goal for bootcamp attendees.
And at that, AFAIK Python + NumPy has been steadily eroding Fortran's share of scientific computing from the bottom up.

Relatively speaking C, C++ and Ada are fairly new. Around 1980. Ada was supposed to be a 4th generation language but I have yet to figure how that is true. Guess it is sort of like saying the F-35 is so much better than the F-16.
FORTRAN 1957
Ada 1980
Algol 1958
Basic 1964
C 1978
C++ 1983
COBOL 1957
APL 1964
Pascal 1970
