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: "The reminderName string is a string that uniquely identifies the reminder within the scope of the contextual grain."

A block of code is set as follows:

var silo = new SiloHostBuilder()
    [...]
    .UseInMemoryReminderService()
    [...]

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

public interface IHotelGrain : IGrainWithStringKey
    {
        <<Code removed for brevity>>
        public Task Subscribe(IObserver observer);
        public Task UnSubscribe(IObserver observer);

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

az monitor app-insights component create --app ai-distel-prod --location westus  --resource-group rg-distel-prod

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: "Client System sends the batches of messages to Dispatcher Grain, which enumerates through the batch of messages to dispatch the messages to each target grain."
