Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What does it mean for code to be asynchronous?	It means that it can execute at (essentially) any time. I could define a function and not know exactly when it's going to run (due perhaps to user interaction -- as opposed to calling it directly within the flow of my program).
Describe a piece of your code that executes asynchronously. How did this affect the way you structured it?	When the user clicks the 'All trips' button, all the trips load. This means that in my document.ready, I have defined a piece of code that's waiting for the user to click on that particular button. When the user clicks, it then calls my tripListClickHandler, which in turn calls other functions that will load the trips to the page.
What kind of errors might the API give you? How did you choose to handle them?	If the internet is out/slow, or if the url is incorrect, the user will get an error message saying that there was an error, and I logged an error message to the console, as well.
What is an Underscore template? Describe one template you used for this project.	It's a template of html with javascript variables mixed in (similar to a .html.erb file in ruby) so we can dynamically fill in data to be uniformly displayed, drying up our html. I had a template for a trip details page, which included the details for a particular trip, along with a form to reserve that trip.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Nothing in particular!
