Conventions used

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

Code in text: 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: 'You can download the file named node-v6.12.3-x64.msi and install it using the interactive installer.'

A block of code is set as follows:

using System;
using PartsUnlimited.Models;
namespace AzureArtifacts
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine('Hello World!');
            CartItem caritem = new CartItem()

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

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Install-Module AzureRM -AllowClobber

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

docker run \
  -e VSTS_ACCOUNT=<name> \
  -e VSTS_TOKEN=<pat> \
  -it mcr.microsoft.com/azure-pipelines/vsts-agent

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: 'Log in with your Microsoft account and in the left menu, select Artifacts.'
