Files, JSON and finding thingsIntro

The Programming Masterclass · Act 1

Everything so far you typed yourself.

Every list, every number, every name. You wrote it into the program by hand. That is fine for learning and useless for work, because real data already exists somewhere: a file the accounts person emailed you, a log the server wrote at 3 a.m., a response from some company’s API.

Quick, honest: how does this feel right now?
