Backbone Code Challenge

Can you build a small project that allows the current user to create/update/delete a number of Guides? Each Guide can contain a single Schedule object and schedules can have multiple Events.

Implement view layer logic that accepts inputs from the DOM, fetches data from the API and updates the ul#guide-list unordered list.

DOM Assumptions

For this project, assume you have a DOM like so:

<input type="text" id="guide-name" placeholder="Create New Guide" />
<input type="button" id="submit-btn" value="Save Changes" />

<ul id="guide-list"></ul>
