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: "Let's take a look at the onApplicatonStart() method as it currently stands within the Application.cfc file."

A block of code is set as follows:

<cfscript>
objProjects = createObject("component", "com.projects.Projects");
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>
The current date is #objProjects.getCurrentDate()#
</cfoutput>

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

<cffunction name="getAllUsers" access="public" output="false" hint="I run a query of all users within the database table."> <!--- Call the query method from the User Gateway and return the query object. ---> <cfreturn variables.instance.userGW.filterAllUsers() />
</cffunction>

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: "clicking the Next button moves you to the next screen".
