Unit 20 Event Driven Programming

Unlike traditional programming, where the control flow is determined by the program structure, the control flow of event driven programs is largely driven by external events. Typically, event loops are pre-programmed to continually look for
information to process. Event driven programming is a very flexible way of allowing programs to respond to many inputs or events.

Learning Outcomes:

On completion of this unit a learner should:
1 Understand the characteristics and uses of event driven programming
2 Be able to use the tools and techniques of an event driven language
3 Be able to design and create an event driven application
4 Be able to test and review an event driven application.
