Organization of this Book

This book has been written so that those who need information quickly are able to find what they need, and those who wish to learn more advanced topics can read deeper into each chapter.

The book begins with an overview of Swift Mailer, discussing what's included in the package and preparing you for the remainder of the book.

It is possible to read this user guide just like any other book (from beginning to end). Each chapter begins with a discussion of the contents it contains, followed by a short code sample designed to give you a head start. As you get further into a chapter you will learn more about Swift Mailer's capabilities, but often you will be able to head directly to the topic you wish to learn about.

Throughout this book you will be presented with code samples, which most people should find ample to implement Swift Mailer appropriately in their own projects. I will also use diagrams where appropriate, and where I believe readers may find it helpful I will discuss some related theory, including reference to certain documents you are able to find online.

1. Code Samples
   Code samples presented in this book will be displayed on a different colored background in a monospaced font. Samples are not to be taken as copy & paste code snippets.
