Abstract: 
One of the nicest things about JavaScript is the way it considers function. Instead of being wholly owned subsidiaries of classes, functions are as portable as any other object, and their arguments are dynamic too. This makes for some elegant event handling.
In this screencast, Jeremy Foster will attempt to give you a taste of how to wire up events in a Windows 8 app using JavaScript.
Next Steps:
Step #1 – Download Windows 8 Release Preview and Windows 8 SDK
Step #2 – Download Visual Studio Express for Windows 8
Step #3 – Start building your own Apps for Windows 8

nice thorough explanation of the different ways of adding an event to a DOM element, and how they subtly differ.
