Introduction

Let's say that we want to add a very simple form to our Joomla! site. Probably the simplest is a newsletter sign-up. We will just collect the user's e-mail address and send the result to the site administrator. Later, in the book we'll be able to extend this form to do much more, but this simple version is a great place to start.
