i like this ebook

nice post

I found something strange in ch. 17, applied data binding in 2e on page. 725. In the passing paragraph, the author mentioned two forms to make the list-item UI. But in the codes, there are list form/edit form and item form.

Since the sample codes are too concise to figure out where went wrong, I have to ask for help on this issue.

Thanks.
