About This E-Book
EPUB is an open, industry-standard format for e-books. However, support for 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 e-book 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.
