Sam and Ryan discuss new videos on async testing and declarative form validations.

Topics include: 01:14: Lessons learned from the Async Testing series 06:20: Forms: declarative validations, building blocks & escape hatches 12:56: Why building forms in UI libraries is hard – unconstrained environments 30:45: Philosophical differences, and over- vs. under-abstracting Links: EmberMap's premium series on Async Testing Andrew Clark on Twitter
