Summary

In this chapter, we built two very different screens in the Magento admin area. One utilized the listing component, whereas the other utilized the form component. A great deal of our work involved configuration rather than coding, which stands to prove how powerful Magento UI components can be. While the amount of configuration might seem overwhelming at first, getting a grip on individual component configurations allows us to build complex interfaces quickly.

Moving forward, we are going to take a look at some of the specifics behind developing for the storefront area.
