Conventions used

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

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, path names, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Create a file called simply script.ps1."

A block of code is set as follows:

Get-Date
hostname
Write-Output "Hello, $env:username!"

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

$Date = Get-Date
if ($Date.DayOfWeek -in 'Saturday', 'Sunday') {
    Write-Host 'It is a weekend!'
}
else {
    Write-Host 'It is a weekday.'
}

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

PS> Get-Process dconf-editor
PS> Stop-Process -Id 20608

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Click the Cloud Shell icon in the top navigation bar of the Azure portal; select either Bash or PowerShell."
