### Inside [(ng-model)]
*This section is an optional deep dive into [(ng-model)]. Not interested? Skip ahead!*
The punctuation in the binding syntax, <span style="font-family:courier"><b>[()]</b></span>, is a good clue to what's going on.
We write a Property Binding to flow data from the model to a target property on screen.
In a Property Binding, a value flows from the model to a target property on screen.
We identify that target property by surrounding its name in brackets, <span style="font-family:courier"><b>[]</b></span>.
This is a one-way data binding **from the model to the view**.
We write an Event Binding to flow data from the target property on screen to the model.
In an Event Binding, we flow the value from the target property on screen to the model.
We identify that target property by surrounding its name in parentheses, <span style="font-family:courier"><b>()</b></span>.

<br>The Property Binding should feel familiar. The Event Binding might seem strange.
The name `ng-model-change` is not an event we recognize.
It is a real event property ... of the `NgModel` directive.
The `ng-model-change` is not an `<input>` element event.
It is actually an event property of the `NgModel` directive.
When Angular sees a binding target in the form <span style="font-family:courier">[(abc)]</span>,
it expects the `abc` directive to have an `abc` input property and an `abc-change` output property.
The other oddity is the template expression, `model.name = $event`.
We're used to seeing an `$event` object coming from a DOM event.
The `ng-model-change` property doesn't produce a DOM event; it's an Angular `EventEmitter`
property that returns the input box value when it fires ... which is precisely what
