Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How do Backbone Views help structure your code?	It provided some organization by breaking up code that would have all ended up in a really unwieldy app.js file without views. I found that working with Views made the structure of the program more similar to a Rails-y MVC structure
Did you use jQuery directly in your Views? How, and why?	No: I used the this.$ which I think is not the same as using jQuery directly...
What was an example of an event you triggered? Why did you need to trigger it?	I triggered a custom 'priceChage' event whenever a quote model's price changed. I did this because Order needed to know a quote's current price for validations and to know when to execute
In what was is unit testing in JavaScript similar to unit testing in Ruby? In what ways is it different?	Overall, it is familiar spec-style testing where we do a sanity check, run some code, and then define an expectation for after the code has run. Jasmine's spy concept was sort of strange to me , though: I'm not exactly sure what an analogy would be in Ruby unit tests or whether I used spies correctly in my unit tests for this project.

Overall, good work! Event-driven programming is always interesting, especially in contrast with the message-driven programming we've done otherwise. Keep in mind that event-driven is not the only solution available. Otherwise, great job!
