Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
Code in text: Indicates code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “By calling ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads, you can change the maximum values for workerThreads and completionPortThreads.”
A block of code is set as follows:
public async Task PerformCalculations()
{
_runningTotal = 3;
await MultiplyValue().ContinueWith(async (Task) => {
await AddValue();
});
Console.WriteLine($”Running total is {_runningTotal}”);
}
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
private async Task MultiplyValue()
{
await Task.Delay(100);
var currentTotal = Interlocked.Read(ref
_runningTotal);
Interlocked.Exchange(ref _runningTotal,
currentTotal * 10);
}
}
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 instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Let’s look at a quick example of how to implement this in our CancellationPatterns project.”
