7. Overview of Traditional Event Receivers • An event receiver in Microsoft SharePoint is simply a method that is called when a triggering action occurs on a specified SharePoint object. Triggering events include actions such as adding, updating, deleting, moving, checking in, and checking out. SharePoint objects that listen for events—that is, event receiver hosts—include objects such as site collections, sites, lists, and workflows. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg749858(v=office.14).aspx • Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Events • Binding Event Receivers • Disabling Event Receivers

11. SharePoint 2013 Remote/App Events • App Events: Installed, Upgraded, Uninstalling • Remote Events: your cloud app can respond when a user adds, changes, or deletes a list, a list item, or a web. • Remote event receivers and app event receivers work only with cloud apps for SharePoint (that is, auto-hosted and provider-hosted apps). These receivers don't work with SharePoint-hosted apps for SharePoint. • In SharePoint 2013, the code that runs when the event is triggered is served by a web service. […]if you register a remote event receiver, you also need to tell SharePoint which web service to invoke. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn456315.aspx
