update UI respond to user input kernel UI
updating the UI
someView.render( aViewMessage ) updating the UI {...}
someView.render( aViewMessage ) updating the UI {...}
someView.get( ‘field_id’, callbackFn ) reading the UI
someView.bind( ‘event_id’, callbackFn ) responding to events
calatrava is ‘HTML irst’
