To help you get the most from the text and keep track of what''s happening, we''ve used a number of conventions throughout the book.
| Important |
These boxes hold important, not-to-be-forgotten information, which is directly relevant to the surrounding text.

| Note |
While the background style is used for asides to the current discussion.

As for styles in the text:
When we introduce them, we highlight important words
We show keyboard strokes like this: Ctrl-K
We show filenames and code within the text like so: persistence.properties
Text on user interfaces and URLs are shown as: Menu
We present code in two different ways:
In our code examples, the code foreground style shows new, important, pertinent
code.
While code background shows code that''s less important in the present context, or
has been seen before.
