Events

Rendezvous software encourages an event-driven programming paradigm. Program callback functions respond to asynchronous events, such as an inbound message or a timer event.

This chapter presents events and related concepts.

The terms event and events are reserved words in some programming languages (for example, Visual Basic). In this book, these terms refer to Rendezvous events, and not to constructs specific to any programming language.
