The practical session, however, was the highlight. Engaging with the Joke API was not just fun but immensely insightful. Getting hands-on experience in manipulating data by adding, updating, and deleting jokes was empowering. Exploring the functionalities of GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods in real-time was a true 'aha' moment.

Reflecting on the workshop, its significance for my academic and professional growth cannot be overstated. The hands-on experience solidified theoretical concepts, making them tangible. It wasn't merely a session; it was an expedition into the world of APIs—an expedition that has equipped me with invaluable skills for the future.

This workshop was not just about learning; it was about experiencing the transformative power of technology firsthand. It's safe to say; it has etched a lasting impression on my journey toward becoming proficient in the tech landscape.
