Conventions

To help you get the most from the text and keep track of what's happening, we've used a number of conventions throughout the book.

Product Team Aside

Boxes like this one hold tips, tricks, trivia from the ASP.NET Product Team, or some other information that is directly relevant to the surrounding text.

Note

Tips, hints, and tricks to the current discussion are offset and placed in italics like this.

As for styles in the text:

• We italicize new terms and important words when we introduce them.
• We show keyboard strokes like this: Ctrl+A.
• We show file names, URLs, and code within the text like so: persistence.properties.
• We present code in two different ways:

 We use a monofont type with no highlighting for most code examples.

• We use bold to emphasize code that is particularly important in the present context or to show changes from a previous code snippet.
