Why is QuizUI object uppercase 'Q'?

This may seem petty, but shouldn't proper syntax be var quizUI = {} since it's an object? It kind of threw me off at first.

You make a good point. It certainly doesn't seem to follow the naming convention that is used otherwise.

But on the other hand, when you look at how it is used, it is effectively a class containing only static methods So from that perspective it might make sense to capitalize it.

I can see the validity of either choice, but I think I'd lean towards the way it is done in the video because the capital serves as a reminder to treat it as a class of static methods.
