Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What does it mean for the code to be asynchronous?	It means that the code is NOT executed from top to bottom. With this single-page Javascript app, I wrote asynchronous code in the form of event handlers that "listened" for specific actions by the user. This code would only be executed when the event is triggered and would run asynchronously.
Describe a piece of your code that executes asynchronously. How did this affect the way you structured it?	The "New Trips" functionality is run asynchronously. I create a form with an underscore template for the user to fill in but do not display the form until the user clicks the "Add a Trip" button. I put the code for the form outside of the $(document)ready and the event handler inside because the HTML element needs to exist before the event can be listened for.
What kind of errors might the API give you? How did you choose to handle them?	The API can give me errors as problematic HTTP status codes or as "null" for a GET request. I handled any errors from an AJAX function with a failure-case callback.
What is an Underscore template? Describe one template you used for this project.	Underscore is a useful Javascript library for adding templates into a project. I created a template to show each of the trips when the user clicks "All Trips".
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	Well done
Comprehension questions	Well Done
Functionality
Click a button to list trips	Well Done
Click a trip to see trip details	Well Done
Fill out a form to reserve a spot	Well Done
Errors are reported to the user	Well Done - Most users probably don't know what an AJAX call is, so the browser displayed error is best left more vague.
Styling, Foundation grid layout	Well Done - Looks great!
Under the Hood
Trip data is retrieved using jQuery AJAX	Well Done
JavaScript is well-organized and easy to read	Well Done
HTML is semantic	Well Done - Really Well Organized
All dynamic content is rendered using Underscore templates	Well Done - Really Well Organized
Overall
	Great work completing the requirements and optionals. The submission meets the expectations and learning goals for this project. Great work creating a really well designed and easy to use frontend layout.
