Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What does it mean for code to be asynchronous?	Synchronous code runs top down - meaning each line of code is run to completion before moving to the next line. JS is asynchronous meaning code that some code can be scheduled to run in the future - Example: if a section of code is going to take some time, code below that line will be ran
Describe a piece of your code that executes asynchronously. How did this affect the way you structured it?	For my click handler functions I had to use the on function (instead of the click function) - because I automatically include an api request to get all trips when the page loads.
What kind of errors might the API give you? How did you choose to handle them?	The API might time out or have a 500 error and not respond with the wanted info - if this happens, a message appears to the user letting them know something has gone wrong and to try again later
What is an Underscore template? Describe one template you used for this project.	Underscore lets us generate HTML with JS. I used one template to show all the trip information (part of the form is hidden until the user request more information about that trip)
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Go over more examples with js-selectors. I ended up using lots of id to make sure I was only accessing a single trip element, but I know there are other ways to use scope to access elements
