Difference between event handlers and callbacks

Question

What is the difference between an event handler and a callback function?

Answer 1

Events - Think of a Server (Employee) and Client (Boss).One Employee can have many Bosses. The Employee Raises the event, when he finishes the task, and the Bosses may decide to listen to the Employee event or not.The employee is the publisher and the bosses are subscriber.

Callback - The Boss specifically asked the employee to do a task and at the end of task done, the Boss wants to be notified. The employee will make sure that when the task is done, he notifies only the Boss that requested, not necessary all the Bosses. The employee will not notify the Boss, if the partial job is done. It will be only after all the task is done.Only one boss requested the info, and employee only posted the reply to one boss.
