Run code when something happens — the same pattern that powers clicks on the web.

Enemy 1 of 5

On a web page, addEventListener('click', handler) runs handler when the user clicks. The idea is the same everywhere: register a function, call it when an event fires.

Node's EventEmitter uses the same pattern — .on() registers, .emit() fires — so you can practice it here in the runner.
