Chapter 8: Quickly Create Simple Yet Powerful Angular Forms
by Kaloyan Kolev
Forms are an essential part of many web applications, being the most common way to enter and edit text-based data. Front-end JavaScript frameworks such as Angular, often have their own idiomatic ways of creating and validating forms that you need to get to grips with to be productive.

- Reactive forms - more complex forms that give you greater control over the elements in the form.
