Summary
In this chapter, we introduced the basic concepts about data binding and the terminology used to indicate the various actors involved in the binding relationship.

We saw that a better implementation should monitor changes on the data source object and update in real time the data target object. We also tried to redefine the properties of an object in order to catch changes and synchronize the data target property, but found that this technique may have some issues.
