Predefining the flow as George describes is not event-driven.   But you
can do event-driven programming without using classes.

A function is very similar to a method.   In fact if you want to write
procedural code even in Java you can do it by just making one giant class.   (BTDT)

You can use structs in C (user-defined types in VB) just like classes that
have only properties.

The line is really much thinner than some people would like to think.

And you can be a bad programmer in any language and any methodology.
