I received my free board a couple weeks ago and was disappointed by the examples. I posted on the Microchip forums but the people there were not very helpful. Microchip has a good handful of examples, but they all require a secondary board (e.g. sensor board or some other board). And there is no default "blinky LED" demo. The devboard does nothing when plugged in. Well, it enumerates the debugger and shows up as a mass storage device, but the target does nothing. I wanted to jump right in, but ordering a board and wiring something up is not as appealing as blinking an LED right away. Maybe in the past week or so more examples have been added. Programming it is as simple as copying your hex file to the mass storage device root directory. It's not persistent memory, so if you unplug USB and plug it back in, your hex file will not be there.
