Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How do Backbone Views help structure your code?	Views in Backbone are like controllers in Ruby, It helps to connect data with the DOM.
Did you use jQuery directly in your Views? How, and why?	I can't use jQuery directly in the views, I need to use this.$(selector) in order to use jQuery. I used to select elements at the DOM.
What was an example of an event you triggered? Why did you need to trigger it?	I trigger when a quote is buy or sell. I need to trigger this event because is a different type of event that I customize.
In what was is unit testing in JavaScript similar to unit testing in Ruby? In what ways is it different?	The structure is very similar with the it and describe.

At this point you need to connect the new Order with its corresponding Quote. Probably the cleanest way to do this would be to add a function to QuoteList to get a Quote by symbol, and then pass the QuoteList into the OrderListView at instantiation.

This will allow you to validate the Order based on the current price, and to listen for price changes on the Quote so the Order can execute automatically when the price is right.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	This is a good start, but I would like to see more frequent and granular commits with more descriptive messages
Comprehension questions	yes
Organization
Models and collections are defined in separate files	yes
Code that relies on the DOM is located in or called by $(document).ready	yes
Functionality
Quote prices change when clicking Buy and Sell	yes
The Trade History updates when buying and selling a quote	yes
A user can create an open order using the Order Entry Form	yes
An open order removes itself from the open orders and updates the Trade History when fulfilled	no
General
Has separate views for different parts of the app	yes
Uses events (listening/handling and triggering) to manage different behavior in views	yes
Practices good standards for views (ES6 syntax, doesn't directly use jQuery, returns this in render)	yes
Error handling for the Order Entry Form	no
Testing
Has unit tests for models	no
Overall

This is a good start, but this submission is missing functionality that comes from connecting an Order to a Quote. Coordinating events across multiple components of a complex application is the core learning goal of this assignment, and making that connection is an important part of realizing that goal.

Event-driven programming is an important tool for the modern software engineer, especially in an asynchronous context like front-end JavaScript. It's also very different than the message-driven paradigm we've studied so far. Designing such programs is a unique challenge, as is knowing when and when not to use event-driven techniques. By this point you're probably mostly focused on your capstone project, but it would be worthwhile to spend some time focusing on this. Let me know if you want to sit down and work through making those connections together.
