Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
Code in text
: Indicates code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “By calling ThreadPool.SetMaxThreads
, you can change the maximum values for workerThreads
and completionPortThreads
.”
A block of code is set as follows:
public async Task PerformCalculations() { _runningTotal = 3; await MultiplyValue().ContinueWith(async (Task) => { await AddValue(); }); Console.WriteLine($”Running total is {_runningTotal}”); }
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
private async Task MultiplyValue() { await Task.Delay(100); var currentTotal = Interlocked.Read(ref _runningTotal); Interlocked.Exchange(ref _runningTotal, currentTotal * 10); } }
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
$ mkdir css $ cd css
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: “Let’s look at a quick example of how to implement this in our CancellationPatterns project.”
