Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Later, a counter variable will make the most of the work to find the distance between the two numbers."

A block of code is set as follows:

//procedural style
var sourceData = new { TotalAmount = 12345.67, PaidAmount = 12345.67 };
if (sourceData.PaidAmount == sourceData.TotalAmount)
{
    //do something
}

Tip

The NuGet package names have been changed. The Rx-* and Ix-* packages have been renamed to match their library names, keeping inline with the rest of .NET Core.

• Use System.Reactive instead of Rx-Main
• Use System.Interactive instead of Ix-Main

• Use System.Interactive.Async instead of Ix-Async

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "As you can see, the diagram depicts three functions held in the Computation Expression that return Success or Failure."

Note
