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: "Double-click on the project.json file inside the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio"

A block of code is set as follows:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) 
         { 
            services.AddMvc(); 
         }

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

npm install -g yo grunt-cli generator-aspnet bower 

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: "Select the Empty project template from the New ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Core) Project dialog window and click on OK"
