Table Of ContentAbout This eBook
ePUB is an open, industry-standard format for eBooks.
However, support of ePUB and its many features varies across
reading devices and applications. Use your device or app settings
to customize the presentation to your liking. Settings that you can
customize often include font, font size, single or double column,
landscape or portrait mode, and figures that you can click or tap
to enlarge. For additional information about the settings and
features on your reading device or app, visit the device
manufacturer’s Web site.
Many titles include programming code or configuration
examples. To optimize the presentation of these elements, view
the eBook in single-column, landscape mode and adjust the font
size to the smallest setting. In addition to presenting code and
configurations in the reflowable text format, we have included
images of the code that mimic the presentation found in the print
book; therefore, where the reflowable format may compromise the
presentation of the code listing, you will see a “Click here to view
code image” link. Click the link to view the print-fidelity code
image. To return to the previous page viewed, click the Back
button on your device or app.
