Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
For each person in your pair, describe something you learned from your partner during this project	Kimberley says: After figuring out solution, Julia makes sure to review how we got there and why it worked.
Julia says: I admire Kimberley's persistence and how she isn't afraid of trying out many different possibilities in the code in order to get to a solution. I find sometimes I can be a bit tentative and want to make sure I'm going in the right direction before proceeding or trying things, which is often a hinderance, and working with Kimberley has shown me to be more fearless in my approach.
What was one area of Backbone you gained more clarity on during this assignment?	We learned how to use promises in addressing asynchronicity.
Describe how you solved the problem of having lists of movies that look mostly the same but have different content	In order to avoid confusion over naming, we decided in the beginning of the project to differentiate between "store movie"/"store library" and the "api movie"/"api movies".
Describe how you handled rentals with Backbone?	We didn't get to this optional feature.
Describe a DOM event your application handled
Describe a custom event your application handled	We created an AddToLibrary event which takes a movie from the api-movies search results and puts it in our store library. This event makes an api call to post the selected movie data to our store library api. It also removes that movie from our search results.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	It was just the right amount of work that we could handle in this big week of transitions! Loved that it was a pair project.
