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.
CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. For example: “The Controllers, Models, and Views folders contain ASP.NET Core classes and the .cshtml files for execution on the server.”
A block of code is set as follows:
// storing items at index positions
names[0] = "Kate";
names[1] = "Jack";
names[2] = "Rebecca";
names[3] = "Tom";
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are highlighted:
// storing items at index positions
names[0] = "Kate";
names[1] = "Jack";
names[2] = "Rebecca";
names[3] = "Tom";
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
dotnet new console
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes. For example: “Clicking on the Next button moves you to the next screen.”
Important notes and links to external sources for further reading appear in a box like this.
Good Practice: Recommendations for how to program like an expert appear like this.
