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: "We can start by adding the next snippet to the build.gradle file."

A block of code is set as follows:

cloudFormation { 
   capabilityIam true 
   templateFile project.file('cloudformation.template') 
   templateBucket deploymentBucketName 
   templateKeyPrefix "cfn-templates" 
   stackName "serverlessbook" 
} 

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

$ touch cloudformation.template

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: "In order to download new modules, we will go to Files | Settings | Project Name | Project Interpreter."
