Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "We use the StreamDef class for this purpose".

A block of code is set as follows:

from cntk.layers import Dense
from cntk import input_variable

features = input_variable(50)
layer = Dense(50)(features)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

cd ch2
jupyter notebook

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "To create a new instance of this resource type, click the create button."
