11 I never heard of it as "event driven programming", but I think what it
12 should refer to is the MVC pattern. The "events" for web applications
13 are of such a homogenuous nature that it has no worth to think of it as
14 "event driven". One needs a good understanding of MVC and the
15 Doc/Controller model (and serialization of state data) for building
16 fine complex webapps whose overall logic should keep being
17 understandable.

19 On the opposite, if you've just a plain simple page to display, MVC is
20 definitely way too heavy.
