Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How do Backbone Views help structure your code?	They handle all of the logic that needs to happen between the model and the browser.
Did you use jQuery directly in your Views? How, and why?	I didn't. I used it indirectly using this.$ because using jquery directly can impact dom elements outside of the view; using it indirectly prevents this problem.
What was an example of an event you triggered? Why did you need to trigger it?	I triggered an append event anytime a trade is purchased from a limit buy/sell order. I used this method because we don't know when the order will actually be executed, but we know that when it is, we want the execution of that trade to be reflected in the "trade history" section. Using the trigger allows us to call this function when that action happens.
In what was is unit testing in JavaScript similar to unit testing in Ruby? In what ways is it different?	There are assertions and expectations, as well as describe and it blocks, which make it feel really similar. Slightly different in terms of syntax for setting up tests.

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!
