ROLODEX

Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What role does the Model play in Backbone?	Similar to a model in rails
How do Backbone Views compare to Rails controllers?	A backbone view is similar to a rails controller
How do Backbone Events work in comparison to DOM events?	A backbone event is defined in the code vs. a DOM event is defined in the browser
What do you think of Backbone in comparison to raw JavaScript & jQuery?	I think it's very confusing! Still don't feel like I have a great handle on this and may need more help on this later in the week.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?

ROLODEX

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	Lot of commits, and good commit messages.
Comprehension questions	Check
Functionality
Created a Contact Model	Check
Created a Rolodex Collection	Check
Created a ContactView which renders an individual contact	Check
ContactView responds to a click event when the user clicks on the contact
RolodexView created which renders the lit of contacts	Check
DOM Events handled for creating new Contacts	Check
The RolodexView responds to custom Backbone event generated by ContactView to show the modal	Nope! Instead you're having the ContactView render a new ContactDetailsView with the location hard-coded. Not the best or most flexible way to do so. You've tightly coupled the app, to quote Metz.
Styling, Foundation grid layout	Check
All dynamic content is rendered using an Underscore template	Check
Overall	Let me just say... love the theme. You probably should look at your design because how you're doing the contact details is not quite the Backbone way. A better way would be with the trigger-listenTo method.

Hey @CheezItMan - I met with Charles this afternoon and worked with him to get a better understanding of a few backbone concepts I was struggling with. I also updated it so that when the grayscale image turns to color it's an event! Feeling much better about this assignment. (p.s. @Hamled is awesome...and incredibly patient) 👍

I'll take a look.

Cool effect using CSS and toggleClass to do the greyscale effect.

I like how you now have the DetailsView organized. Nice! You've also broken things out into functions neatly.
