Introduction to the events module in Node.js and an analogy to understand events and responses.
- Events module allows working with events in Node.js, which are actions that can trigger responses in the application.

- An arrow function is added as a listener that logs 'order received' and 'baking a pizza' when the event is emitted.
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Registering multiple listeners for the same event and demonstrating the non-blocking nature of events.
- Multiple listeners can be registered for the same event.
- The non-blocking nature of event-driven programming is exemplified by adding a log statement before event emission.
