We continued our exploration of Backbone in class by building an RSS feeder from the ground up. Interestingly, this project utilized composite views which required careful attention to how we handled the "#remove" method. While normally calling remove on a view object in Backbone would sufficient to silence its listeners, if a view contains other views, they may live on as "zombie" views. As zombies, their listeners will continue to be triggered despite their view being removed from the page! The best way to prevent this situation from becoming an issue is to iterate over each subview and remove it manually.
