In this lesson, you will learn the main concepts behind event-driven programming, which, after object-oriented programming, is another fundamental stepping stone in understanding modern embedded ...

Today’s nimble and scalable applications are being written to be event-driven. With event-driven applications, processes do their work and then trigger events. Other processes listen for triggered ...

What is an event-driven application? An event-driven application is a computer program written to respond to actions generated by a user or system. In a computing context, an Event is any identifiable ...

What myths surround event-driven architectures, and the truth behind the valuable solution that can provide agility and scalability for software engineers If you think an event-driven architecture isn ...

“Asynchrony” is a scary word. It means taking events as they come, managing somehow to avoid being overtaken by them. Event-driven asynchrony is the foundation of serverless computing, which, as a ...

In the beginning, there were forking servers and then came threaded servers. Although they manage a few concurrent connections well, when network sessions reach into the hundreds or even thousands, ...

Servomotors have largely replaced mechanical cams as the standard means of meeting the motion demands of the automation industry. The reasons are well known; mechanical simplicity and system ...

The advent of traditional cloud computing services -- like Amazon EC2-- presented a business case for offloading maintenance of physical servers onto a third party, eliminating upfront costs of ...
