We discuss the main concepts behind event-driven programming, which, after object-oriented programming, is another fundamental stepping stone in understanding modern embedded software.

That’s why P, or an equivalent safe asynchronous event-driven programming language, is essential and should be a required tool in every IoT or microservices developer’s toolkit.

An event-driven architecture (EDA) defines a methodology for designing and implementing applications and systems in which events transmit between loosely coupled software components and services.
