From there, we'll delve into lists, uncovering how to organize and manipulate collections of data. As you progress, you'll master the art of control flow with loops and conditional statements. Learn how to automate repetitive tasks using loops and make your programs dynamically responsive with conditional statements. \n \nTo participate in the hands-on lab during the session, you will need to provide your own computer with a web browser and a reliable internet connection. \n \nThis event is not being recorded.
