Tech Tutorial: Learn to Program with JavaScript – Episode 44: Events and Event Listeners

One of the primary responsibilities of JavaScript in the browser is to listen for and respond to user-initiated events (mouse clicks, mouse moves, etc.). Modern browsers are pretty complex pieces of software and do a lot of the heavy lifting for us when it comes to capturing and notifying us of user-initiated events. This makes responding to these events using JavaScript pretty simple to do.

In this video, we review the concept of events and event listeners as they apply to browsers.


Personal Recommendation (unpaid)
Programming and software development are awesome! Being that you are learning along with me, there is an excellent chance you can make this a career. Based on my own life experience, let me suggest to you that you go get a Computer Science degree from Neumont College of Computer Science and kick your life into hyper-drive.
