Layout conventions
To keep this book as clear and easy to follow as possible, the following conventions are used
throughout:
Important words or concepts are normally highlighted on the first appearance in bold
type.
Code is presented in fixed-width font.
New or changed code is normally presented in bold fixed-width font.
Pseudo-code and variable input are written in italic fixed-width font.
Menu commands are written in the form Menu ?¤ Submenu ?¤ Submenu.
Where I want to draw your attention to something, I??™ve highlighted it like this:
To make it easier to work through the exercises, each one has an introductory box
that lists where you can find any required files and the completed files within the
downloadable file archive. A short overview of what you??™ll learn is also included.
Sometimes code won??™t fit on a single line in a book. Where this happens, I use an
arrow like this: ??.
This is a very, very long section of code that should be written all on
?? the same line without a break.
Ahem, don??™t say I didn??™t warn you.
