Conventions used

There are several 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 X/Twitter handles. For example: “Execute the docker build command.”

A block of code is set as follows:

public class TownBasicInfoMessage
{
    public Guid Id { get; set; }
    public string? Name { get; set; }
    public GeoLocalizationMessage? Location { get; set; }
}

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

FROM eclipse-temurin:11   
COPY . /var/www/java   
WORKDIR /var/www/java   
RUN javac Hello.java   
CMD ["java", "Hello"]  

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

docker run --name myfirstcontainer simpleexample

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on the screen. For instance, words on menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. For example: “Select System info from the Administration panel.”
