Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: 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: "Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system."

A block of code is set as follows:

namespace FirstXamarinFormsApplication
{
    public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            BindingContext = new MainPageViewModel();
        }
    }
}  

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 App ()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    MainPage = new NavigationPage(new ListItemView());
} 

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

 docker run -p 8000:80 netcore-usersapi 

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Both the ALM process and the version control options are available under the Advanced section of the project settings."
