Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What does it mean for code to be asynchronous?	Code that is scheduled to execute when an event happens.
Describe a piece of your code that executes asynchronously. How did this affect the way you structured it?	For example reservationHandler function. The code will execute that function only when an element that was specified (in this case submit button) is clicked on. Because the submit button exists in a form that is in a template, the function had to be placed in the same scope as the code that renders that template.
What kind of errors might the API give you? How did you choose to handle them?	For example, if the url is wrong, the api will return an error. I have included failure callbacks to display a message that request failed.
What is an Underscore template? Describe one template you used for this project.	Undescore is a JavaScript library. It gives us similar functionality as ERB in Rails. It generates html content and allows us to use data from the js file. I used the template for generating the list of trips and then to display the individual trip info and a reservation form.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Nope. I thought it was a very good project introducing various new concepts, such as Ajax and Underscore that was made us do our own research while providing enough information to get us started. It was a lot of fun!
