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: "On the download page, there is also a map file available with the .min.map extension. Sometimes, when bugs appear in the production environment necessitating troubleshooting, the use of the minified file for debugging can be difficult."

A block of code is set as follows:

Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
  ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("jquery", New ScriptResourceDefinition() With {
  .Path = "~/Scripts/jquery-2.1.4.min.js",
  .DebugPath = "~/Scripts/jquery-2.1.4.js",
  .CdnPath = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js",
  .CdnDebugPath = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.js",
  .CdnSupportsSecureConnection = True,
  .LoadSuccessExpression = "window.jQuery"})
End Sub

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

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnableCdn="true">
  <Scripts>
    <asp:ScriptReference Name="jquery"  />
    </Scripts>
</asp:ScriptManager>

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

bower install jquery-validation

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: "Click on the Download jQuery button (highlighted in the preceding screenshot) on the right-hand side of the page. This opens up the download page with the list of available files."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
