What You're Not to Read
I've sprinkled a few sidebars around in the text. They show up as gray boxes. You can safely skip them. They contain information that I think you may find useful but that isn't required to understand the patterns or software architecture. You also can skip anything marked with a Technical Stuff icon (see “Icons Used in This Book,” later in this Introduction, for more information).
