To get the most out of this book

This book assumes a basic knowledge of the principles of object-oriented programming, and an ability to at least read and follow along with C# source code. A basic, high-level understanding of networking concepts and principles is also assumed.

To leverage this book, you will need to at least download and install the latest version of the .NET Core SDK and command-line interface. You should also take the time to familiarize yourself with a C# source code editor, such as Visual Studio Community Edition, or Visual Studio Code, both of which are free to use.

Conventions used

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

CodeInText: 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: "Note the inclusion of the System.Net.Security namespace in our using directives. This is where the AuthenticationLevel enum is defined."

A block of code is set as follows:

var httpRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://test-domain.com");
var ftpRequest = WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp.test-domain.com");
var fileRequest = WebRequest.Create("file://files.test-domain.com");

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

if(!WebRequest.RegisterPrefix("cpf://", new CustomRequestCreator())) {
throw new WebException("Failure to register custom prefix protocol handler.");
}

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

$ mkdir css
$ cd css
