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 ...
“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, ...

What is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and what does “real-time” mean anyway? What are the various kinds of state machines, and how to code them efficiently in C? What is object-oriented ...
Microsoft’s P language, for asynchronous event-driven programming and the IoT (internet of things), has been open-sourced. Geared for embedded systems, device drivers, and distributed services, P is a ...
The FINANCIAL — IBM announced a new open, event-driven platform that lets developers build more feature-rich apps, quickly and easily, that automatically trigger responses to events. The IBM Bluemix ...
The IBM Bluemix OpenWhisk platform enables developers to quickly build microservices that execute software code in response to events such as the clicking of a mouse or the receiving of sensor data ...
