Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What role does the Model play in Backbone?	Models contain a lot of the logic in the JS--validations, defaults, access control, etc. Similar to Rails models.
How did the presence of Models and Collections change the way you thought about your app?	It was nice having a separate document keeping track of the basic information of specific pieces of the app that I could easily refer back to.
How do Backbone Events compare to DOM events?	Backbone events refer to the API events (such as .fetch()) and DOM events refer to the user/page interactions (such as .click())
How did you approach filtering? What was your data flow for this feature?	I did not do any filtering
What do you think of Backbone in comparison to raw JavaScript & jQuery?	I felt like it was supposed to be helpful, but only added to the confusing mess that is JS
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	Good number of commits and good commit messages
Comprehension questions	Check, note Backbone event occur when the data changes as opposed to user activity
Organization
Models and collections are defined in separate files	Check
Code that relies on the DOM is located in or called by $(document).ready	Check
Code follows the Backbone data flow (DOM event -> update model or collection -> Backbone event -> update DOM)
Functionality
Display list of trips	Check, but if I add a trip, I can't see the list anymore. I have to refresh to see the trip list again.
Display trip details	Check
Register for a trip	Check, however no feedback to see if the registration is successful
Add a trip	Check, however no feedback about success or failure
Sort trips	Check
General
Snappy visual feedback for user actions	The layout is good and the interface is nice, but you don't provide any feedback to the user
API error handling	MISSING you have the event handlers, but you weren't doing anything with the information
Client-side validation	MISSING
Overall	You covered many of the learning goals of this project, but are missing client-side and server-side validations. That's something I'd like you to work on for the next project.
