Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What does it mean for code to be asynchronous?	When code is asynchronous, it will be executed at some point in the future, often in response to some external event.
Describe a piece of your code that executes asynchronously. How did this affect the way you structured it?	Every call to the API is an asynchronous event, and any code below the API call will be executed while the client waits for the server's response. Because of this, I wrote callback functions that would only be executed when the response was received. I chose to only modify the html inside these callback functions so that I could display everything that I wanted together.
What kind of errors might the API give you? How did you choose to handle them?	If the API server is down, then you will not be able to load any trips or reserve a spot on a trip. When this occurs, I let you user know as well as print a more technical message to the console.
What is an Underscore template? Describe one template you used for this project.	An underscore template predefines HTML that we may want to insert into an existing element at a later point in time. It is defined in HTML but invoked in JS, allowing us to separate our views from our logic. I used an underscore template to predefine the HTML I wanted to use to display a list of trips. When a user clicked the trips button, the API was called, and when a response was received, the underscore template was invoked.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Nope!
