Special Chapter Title Layout

Post by BdN3504 »

Hi, I've seen this style in a book on learning latex and i'd like to incorporate this style into a document i am writing right now.
Here's a scan:

Basically we have the text "chapter" "#" written in white on a black box. The box's origin is the outer left margin of the page and it has a fixed width to which the text inside the box is aligned to the right.
Beneath that box is the chapter title without the number.

I have now read about 300 pages on latex until now but i haven't read anything about chapter heading layout. it would be very kind of you to post a working chunk of code which i could simply include in my document. please don't give me hints on where to find out how to do this because i'm getting tired on reading about latex...
Thanks for your help.

In the picture I see a URL and I know that the author maintains a web address for his book. So I suggest that you contact him and ask if he can provide the source code for his chapter layout.
