3.1 Conclusion
Events are very important in any web page or application, and by now, you understand the basics of how to listen for and react to them. The question is now: where do you go from here? The Mozilla Development Network. The MDN is a fantastic resource for reference information on JavaScript and the DOM—including events. You'll find information, examples, and even a browser support matrix for just about every type of event and Event object properties.

3.1 Conclusion
Events are very important to any webpage or application, and by now you understand the basics on how to listen for and react to them. So now the question is, where do you go from here? Well, let me point you to the Mozilla Developer Network. Just do a search for mdn, and then you can follow that up with whatever topic that you want to find. So in this case, we want to look at events. And the first hit is pretty much going to be exactly what you want. This is going to be the event reference. And you can see that there's a lot of events here. These are all organized by category. And if you scroll down far enough, you're going to see even the less common and non-standard events. You're going to see standard events. I mean, there's a ton of information here. Which is why at the very beginning of this course I said that this is not an exhaustive examination of events, because well, there's just a ton of information. But if you ever have a question about these events, all you have to do is just click on them and you're going to get a lot of information about it. Like this is the keydown event, which is a keyboard event. And here is the interface for the event object that you get to work with. It's going to list all of the methods, which we didn't really talk about here, but it does inherit methods from event. So the preventDefault method is also supported, which is something that we did talk about. But if you have a question about any event and any property available, this is going to be listed here. And at the end of every one of these articles, you're going to see a compatibility matrix, as to wheter or not a particular browser supports that event. And some of the properties available for that event. You're also going to see an example for just about every type of event that is available. So MDN is a fantastic resource, not just for events, but for anything JavaScript and DOM related. So I highly recommend that you spend some time there, if you haven't already. Thank you so much for watching this course. Please feel free to contact me through Twitter or the Tuts+ forums if you have any questions. From all of us here at Tuts+, thank you, and I will see you next time.
