Abstract
Webster’s collegiate dictionary defines an event as “a noteworthy happening.” This general definition, in addition to conveying the meaning of the word in its social sense, is also remarkably precise when it comes to describing the fairly abstract concept referred to as an event in computer parlance. For software developers an event means exactly this: a “noteworthy happening” within the realm of a particular software system. Event-driven programming is a very popular type of software development model that is widely employed throughout the industry.
