In the final installment of our series on forms, the Angular Show welcomes one of our favorite speakers and expert on forms, our very own panelist, Jennifer Wadella. Jennifer is the Director of Angular Development at Bitovi, a front-end JavaScript consulting firm.

In the first two installments, we discussed Angular Formly with Bram (better known as Beeman) and Juri Strumpflohner, and then we sat down with Ward Bell to expand our understanding and appreciation for template-driven forms. In this episode, Jennifer will take your knowledge of reactive-driven forms to the next level. To get started, we will broadly discuss the basics of reactive forms and its API; including the AbstractControl, the FormBuilder, and more. We'll then briefly learn about the differences between using the reactive forms API and the template-driven approach. We'll also discuss some more advanced topics, such as the value control accessor and validation. Finally, we'll look at a few of the open issues related to reactive forms and discuss how the API could be improved (ehh hemm, typings).

If you haven't subscribed to our show, go ahead and do it now. We love this community and we want you to be a part of it! The Angular Show is your home for the latest Angular news, to learn more about Angular, and to meet amazing people in the community.
