| <p>This book is organized so you can learn what you need to know quickly and easily. Each chapter has these common sections: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The overview gives you a quick synopsis of what you're about to learn. |
| </li> |
| <li>The suggested reading section tells you what you should know before starting each chapter. |
| </li> |
| <li>The related information section gives you a quick list of the supporting material, including tutorials and movies. Some are marked "recommended." |
| </li> |
| <li>The "How ... works" section gives you an idea of what's happening "underneath the covers" -- how the IDE, the host, and the target work together.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>The tutorials are in a separate guide so you can print and use them side by side with the corresponding chapters in this guide.</p> |
| <p> |
