    Event Handling

    • Event: an action or occurrence that triggers a response in a program
    • Event Handler: a function that is executed in response to an event
    • Types of Events:
      • Mouse Events: click, dblclick, mouseover, mouseout, etc.
      • Keyboard Events: keydown, keyup, keypress, etc.
      • Form Events: submit, change, focus, blur, etc.
    • Event Listeners: attached to elements to listen for events
      • addEventListener() method: adds an event listener to an element
      • removeEventListener() method: removes an event listener from an element
    • Event Object: provides information about the event, such as the target element and coordinates of the mouse click

    JavaScript Frameworks

    • Definition: a collection of pre-built components and tools that simplify JavaScript development
    • Popular Frameworks:
      • React: for building user interfaces and single-page applications
      • Angular: for building complex web applications
      • Vue.js: for building progressive and flexible web applications
    • Benefits:
      • Faster development: pre-built components and tools speed up development
      • Easier maintenance: frameworks provide a structured approach to coding
      • Large communities: frameworks have large communities that provide support and resources

    DOM Manipulation

    • DOM (Document Object Model): a tree-like representation of an HTML document
