In this introductory developer session, we'll cover the functionality SPFx provides for customizing forms in SharePoint lists and libraries — giving developers full control over the user interface and the ability to build custom logic directly into the form experience.

We'll create a form customizer and attach it to a SharePoint list, then look at how to elevate the experience with a custom user interface. Well discuss options for rendering the form either in the native side panel or redirecting users to a separate page and why you might want to make that choice. We'll cover the component manifest and how to attach your forms to specific lists or libraries.

Attendees will leave with an understanding of how to build their first list form customizer — both the classic full-page approach and the newer panel-based experience — along with resources for further exploration. All are welcome; while development experience isn't necessary, we will be looking at code and talking through SPFx and React.
