Conventions

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 are shown as follows: "Copy phonegap.1.0.0.js from your PhoneGap downloaded earlier to assets/www."

A block of code is set as follows:

Ext.setup({
  onReady: function() {
    if (Ext.is.Android)
      Ext.Msg.alert("INFO", "Welcome Android user!");
      
    if (Ext.is.Blackberry)
      Ext.Msg.alert("INFO", "Welcome Blackberry user!");
      
    if (Ext.is.iPad)
      Ext.Msg.alert("INFO", "Welcome iPad user!");
  }
});

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

layout: {
          type: 'hbox',
          direction: 'reverse'
}

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: " Launch Eclipse, click on the File menu, and select New | Android Project".
