                            using AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) and loading using Require JS to improve web-page
                            performance
                            and code maintainability

                            Usage of Underscore JS framework for coding of reusable HTML templates which can be rendered
                            on
                            the fly. This helps in avoiding typo errors due to single or double quote mismatch in
                            JavaScript
                            code which are hard to debug. It also provides separation of HTML template from JS thus
                            improving code maintainability
                        </li>
