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: "Open up your favorite HTML editor and create a new file, index.html, place it where index.jsp was."

A block of code is set as follows:

function makeRequest() {
  // Define properties
  var AUTH_ENDPOINT = "https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth";
  var RESPONSE_TYPE = "token";
  var CLIENT_ID = "wmiig-550106";
  var REDIRECT_URI = "http://wmiig.com/callback.html";
  var SCOPE = "public_profile user_posts";

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

sudo mvn -Dmaven.tomcat.port=80 -Dmaven.tomcat.path=/ tomcat:run

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: "Save the file, reload your page, and click on Go! again."
