As we already stated, event-driven programming can be implemented on various levels of a software architecture using multiple different design patterns. It is also often applied to very specific software engineering areas such as networking, system programming, and GUI programming. So, event-driven programming isn't a single cohesive programming approach, but rather a collection of diverse patterns, tools, and algorithms that form a common paradigm that concentrates on programming around the flow of events.
Due to this, event-driven programming exists in different flavors and styles. The actual implementations of event-driven programming can be based on different design patterns and techniques. Some of these event-driven techniques and tools don't even use the term event. Despite this variety, we can easily identify a few of...
