Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What role does the Model play in Backbone?	Taking care of all things related to the data. Create, update, delete as well as including functions that are related to data. Triggers events when data changes.
How do Backbone Views compare to Rails controllers?	About the same. It is the link between the DOM and the model. When an event is happening in the DOM, the view communicate this to the model (if needed) and if something is changed in the data, the view communicates this to the DOM by updating it.
How do Backbone Events work in comparison to DOM events?	The backbone events is triggered in the model and is listened to in the view.
What do you think of Backbone in comparison to raw JavaScript & jQuery?	I like the views that organize the different functions to use for the view. It is easier to understand the flow. I like the way to organize all events in the events hash.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I really like the live code, but if it is possible to git add/commit more often it would be great. Then one can find out afterwards how the code was refactored. An option would be that we the students ask for it, but sometimes, at least I am still in the last phase finishing up, when the things happening on the screen is well into the next step, and the moment to ask is gone.
