JavaScript is event-driven. 7A

Leonid Kovalchuk - March 1, 2023 1 Comment

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the coding language used to add design elements to a web page. HTML is a markup language used to create webpages. It is the foundation of any website, providing structure and semantic meaning to the content of the page. HTML allows web designers to create pages, which are then interpreted by web browsers and displayed to users. HTML includes tags that define how the content of a web page should be displayed. These tags can include information such as text, images, and hyperlinks. Additionally, HTML includes elements that define how webpages should be structured and formatted, including the layout, navigation, and other design elements. Also CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the coding language used to add design elements to a web page. 

Event-driven programming is a style of programming in which the flow of a program is determined by events. It is a type of programming used in JavaScript that allows code to respond to user interactions like clicks, mouse movements, and key presses. JavaScript is event-driven because it responds to user input by firing off specified events which prompt functions to be executed. This allows JavaScript to constantly monitor user input and provide an interactive experience.

    Hi Leonid!! I think this is a great explanation of how JavaScript is an event-driven program. Everything starts by following an event in this programming model. JavaScript is constantly looking to react to an action to execute a function. Now when I am online scrolling through web pages and clicking on sites I know the importance of the JavaScript language to make this all possible!
