Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What role does the Model play in Backbone?	Model in backbone are responsible of keep track of data and save them, trigger events when data changes, reading data from and writing it to API and can be setup to hold business logic.
How do Backbone Views compare to Rails controllers?	Views in Backbone are similar to Rails controller since their job is to coordinate between the data in the model and the DOM .
How do Backbone Events work in comparison to DOM events?	DOM events come from regular JavaScript such as click and keyon, while Backbone events are used to listen and handle all custom events such as update and change. In summary, when DOM events occur, Backbone will look at events hash and try to match that DOM event with the key that has event handler.
What do you think of Backbone in comparison to raw JavaScript & jQuery?	Each is a JavaScript library
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I feel that Wave3 of hiding the modal has a significant Backbone concept that worth to be added to BB curriculum

Ok Just some notes on not using raw jQuery within your view.

[CheezItMan]

It's better to avoid using raw jQuery to select items, rather stick to using this.$ to select elements within the view. That prevents you from selecting something outside the view.

[CheezItMan]

More raw jQuery.
