Thanks for submitting this pull request. I generally don't specify the return type on a function, if the type is obvious (to the compiler & the developer). In this case the function has only one return statement, returning a variable that is an instance of a class. So I would say it is clear enough here.
This is definitely a convinience thing and since this is a tutorial, I'm willing to merge this pull request if the return type of ALL functions would be specified consistently. So either all of them have a return type or none.
