 #### Emitting Events
 
-You can send events over HTTP in either binary or structured format
-using the `HTTP` binding to create a `Message` which has properties
-for `headers` and `body`.
+The easiest way to send events is to use the built-in HTTP emitter.
+
+```js
+const { httpTransport, emitterFor, CloudEvent } = require("cloudevents");
+
+// Create an emitter to send events to an to a reciever
+const emit = emitterFor(httpTransport("https://my.receiver.com/endpoint"));
+
+// Create a new CloudEvent
+const ce = new CloudEvent({ type, source, data });
+
+// Send it to the endpoint - encoded as HTTP binary by default
+emit(ce);
+```
+
+If you prefer to use another transport mechanism for sending events
+over HTTP, you can use the `HTTP` binding to create a `Message` which
+has properties for `headers` and `body`, allowing greater flexibility
+and customization. For example, the `axios` module is used here to send
+a CloudEvent.
 
 ```js
 const axios = require("axios").default;
