About 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.
