How to use this book

The top menu is used to navigate the main body page to the various chapters and appendices of the book. There is also a pulldown menu for jumping directly to sections in chapter 3 and 4 (see "Jump to a concept" and "Jump to a node"). For example, click on the text in the top menu labelled "Introduction" to navigate to the chapter entitled "Introduction" (Chapter 1). It is probably a good idea to read "About This Book" (top right-hand corner) and "Introduction" first.

Some chapters have a left menu that can be used to navigate WITHIN a chapter or appendix. This menu lists the table of contents for the chapter or appendix.
