I realise this myt not be the correct place to post this (sorry if it aint)

but what are the diffrences between GUI's and Event driven software... as a i was aware they are the same?

also does anyone have a link or any informatiopn on the development of event driven software..??

Thanx

Event driven: Reactive. Basically it does stuff at certain times. i.e. if a program crashes it displays a blue screen, etc.

GUI: Graphical User Interface. Basically Windows where you choose what you want to do and when you want to do it by manipulating the GUI.

WikiPedia would be a good place to look.

Plus wiki isnt someplace you will want to reference to in your coursework.

GUI's are used to run some event driven software, ie i click a button (The event) and something happends. However there is also software that is just purly event driven ie, the coding on RAID card chips to control where the data is written to.
