This Book In a Nutshell
This book is aimed at developers that want to get a deeper practical understanding of Angular Forms, both Template-Driven and Reactive (aka Model-Driven).
If you have been trying to learn how to implement a complex data entry form in Angular, and would like to know what type of form suits best your use case (Template-driven vs Reactive), or would like to know the advantages of the reactive approach for form building , then this book is for you.
What is the core value proposition of this book?
Sit down in one evening with this book (this Jumpstart is condensed to 25 pages), and learn the key aspects of both Template-Driven and Reactive Forms in one read, plus their advantages and disadvantages.
Why a Fast-track Guide to Angular Forms?
There are two very different ways to build forms in Angular. Depending on which one you use there could be some uses cases that you will find hard to implement using one way and not the other.
Deciding which mechanism to use in our application, is one those fundamental architecture decisions that will be hard to change after the fact.
This book could potentially spare you numerous days of prototyping, refactorings, and false starts, and help you choose the right kind of forms that are best suited for your use concrete cases, from the very beginning.
Book Format
This book is in the PDF format and the code is fully in text and not in images, so everything is searchable. This format is ideal for taking it to work and using it during your daily development.
