Event Driven Programming
Event Driven Programming
Programming
Event-driven programming is a powerful paradigm that allows
applications to react to events, such as user interactions or system
changes. It is an essential concept in modern software development,
.influencing applications across various domains
The Fundamentals of
Event-Driven Programming
1 Events 2 Event Handlers
Events represent occurrences Event handlers are functions or
that trigger actions within an methods that are executed
application, such as button when a specific event occurs,
clicks, mouse movements, or allowing developers to define
.data updates .the application's response
Event-driven systems are inherently Event-driven architecture promotes Event-driven systems can easily
responsive, as they react modularity, allowing developers to scale to handle large volumes of
immediately to events, providing a separate concerns and create events, ensuring efficient processing
dynamic and interactive user reusable components that respond and minimal performance

Common Event-Driven
Design Patterns
Observer Pattern Publish-Subscribe Pattern
The observer pattern defines a The publish-subscribe pattern
one-to-many dependency allows objects (publishers) to
between objects, where an broadcast events without
object (subject) notifies its knowing the specific objects
dependents (observers) about (subscribers) that will handle
.state changes .them
Event Triggering
When an event occurs, the event listener notifies the
.registered event handlers, triggering their execution
Event Handling
Event handlers perform the necessary actions in response to
the event, updating the application's state or triggering
.further events
Asynchronous Event Processing
1 Event Submission
Events are submitted to a queue or other asynchronous processing
mechanism, allowing the application to continue executing other
.tasks
2 Event Handling
Event handlers are triggered asynchronously, processing events in a
separate thread or process, without blocking the main application
.flow
3 Results Notification
Once an event has been processed, the results can be
asynchronously notified to the relevant components, allowing for
.seamless integration
or Handling in Event-Driven Systems
Robust Error Detection Properly identify and capture errors that occur during event
handling, ensuring that exceptions are appropriately
.handled
Error Logging Log error details, including event context, timestamps, and
exception messages, facilitating troubleshooting and
.debugging
Error Recovery Implement strategies to recover from errors, such as
retrying failed operations, gracefully degrading functionality,
.or notifying users about issues
