This is the revision session for our Programming Principles course. We remind ourselves of the three pillars of object oriented programming, look ahead to the exam, and share some parting advice.

Event driven programming is a way of writing a program that works by responding to things happening (rather than executing a preplanned series of tasks). It is most often used to manage more advanced user interactions, such as GUI programs. In this session we look at how event driven programming works in Java GUIs, as both an introduction to events (using MouseListeners), and also to the way that GUI programs are constructed.
