Garrett Explains Cocoa Events

Garrett:

think of events as things that might happen at any moment
Shawn:

yeah I get it now
Garrett:

but flipping a view is a direct action that always happens immediately
Garrett:

so it's not an event in these cases
Garrett:

now, to answer your question of "is that not an event"?
Garrett:

yes, in the generic sense of the word event
Garrett:

just like when i got a huge boner from watching a dog food commercial yesterday
Garrett:

that's technically an event
Garrett:

but i wouldn't want to fire off a notification about it
Shawn:

well, no you wouldn't
Shawn:

for a lot of reasons
Garrett:

actually, I'm wrong, that WOULD be a case for a notification
