Hi! I have slowly continued to update my Getting Started with Angular 2 Step by Step series from the beta to the latest version of Angular which is now RC4. This time it was the turn of the Forms and Validation article where I used what is known as template driven forms.

Again, just like with the router, there are some changes that you’ll need perform to update your Angular 2 app forms to the latest version, albeit at a much smaller scale. I thought it would be a nice to have these updates in the form of a brief and very practical guide and here we are. Enjoy!

UPDATE 14th Sep 2016: Hi there! I have added an additional step to update your router from RC4 to RC5, RC6, RC7 and Angular 2 Final.

This week I’ve been updating my Getting Started with Angular 2 Step by Step series from the beta in which they were written to the latest version of Angular which is now RC4.

I had heard about the router debacle but I wasn’t aware of the massive changes required to move from the router in the beta until I updated the articles. I thought it would be helpful to write a quick, super practical guide while it’s fresh in my head. So if you’ve been postponing the router update until now, I hope this guide will help you.

Barbaric Tip of the Week is a weekly series whose main purpose is to share tiny bits of knowledge that I find specially useful and interesting.

Last week I experienced one of the weirdest moments I have ever had with git and something that should never ever happen within the secure confines of a version control system: I lost a commit. My source code, everything that I had been working on for 3 hours wiped out from existence.

Has this ever happened to you? Would you like to know how you can recover a lost commit?
