My (very) limited experience i thought it would def be the latter... pg83

By "the latter", do you mean the view? Because the examples on p. 83 of the book build the forms in the controller, not the view (of course, ultimately the form is serialized in the view).

In general, you should probably process the form in the controller (which is the norm). In order to process the form, though, you must first create it -- so it should be created in the controller as well.

For more on when and where to use HTML helpers in general, see here.
