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: "relationship between the Tweet and Message objects."

A block of code is set as follows:

class Customer
{
    public string firstName;
    public string lastName;
    public string phoneNumber;
    public string emailAddress;

    public string GetFullName()
    {
        return firstName + " " + lastName;
    }
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

class class-name {
    // property 1
    // property 2
    // ...

    // method 1
    // method 2
    // ...
}

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

git config --global user.name = "john"
git config --global user.email = "john@example.com"

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Go to Tools | Extensions and Updates."
