Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: 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: "All we need to do is refer to the previously defined configurations in launch.json."

A block of code is set as follows:

"compounds": 
   [
     {
       "name": "webApi + webApi2 w/Dapr",
       "configurations": [".NET Core Launch w/Dapr (webapi)", 
       ".NET Core Launch w/Dapr (webapi2)"] 
     }
   ]

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

{            "appId": "hello-world",
            "appPort": 5000,
            "httpPort": 5010,
            "grpcPort": 50010,
            "label": "daprd-debug",
            "type": "daprd",
            "dependsOn": "build"
}

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

$ mkdir css
$ cd css

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
