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.

With pressure to deliver fast, scalable solutions, developers are turning to event-driven microservices as a promising alternative.

Event-driven state machines are typically safer, but input-driven state machines also have their place. For example, in computer games or robotics applications, the event discovery strongly depends on ...
