In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "This namespace contains common APIs such as Ti.UI.View and Ti.UI.TableView."

A block of code is set as follows:

//Create our application namespace
var my = {
  ui:{
    mod : require('dateWin')
  },
  tools:{},
  controllers:{}
};

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

//Add a global event to listen for log messages
Ti.App.addEventListener('app:log',function(e){
  //Provide Log Message to CommonJS Logging Component
  my.logger.add(e);
});

//Open our sample window
my.ui.mainWindow.open();

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: " This recipe walks through using the screen break interaction pattern to create additional space for an Add Notes field."
