Learn how to access data from external services with get and post requests, retrieve data, and securely send sensitive information via post, including using invoke URL for API calls.

Use connections to integrate external services like Twitter, handling authentication so you can call the correct API methods and access Twitter lists within CRM without manual setup.

practice solving progressively tougher problem sets to build coding skills, starting with small challenges and advancing to harder ones while mastering strings, numbers, and data types.

Navigate the deluge development environment to create custom applications, forms, and functions, then complete exercise 1 by printing hello world and adapting the output to welcome learners.

Write a Deluge program that asks for a name via a form and greets the user by that name. Apply the on success workflow and string functions to show name.

Modify the previous program in exercise three to pair Alice and Bob and use an if statement to process their names.

Test how naming inputs affects responses, using 'name equals blob' or unnamed calls, observe messages for Bob or Jeremy, and note the computer doesn't care about problems.

Modify a Deluge form from name to max number, build a list of numbers, and compute totals using loops, despite the script's while loop limitations.

Modify the prior program to include only numbers that are multiples of three or five, and compute the total for those values using appropriate functions.

Use the modulus operator to check multiples of three and five, verify outcomes, and compare with alternative approaches using ceiling and floor functions as described in the reference guide.

Extend the form with a calculation block and conditions to add or multiply inputs, initialize the product at zero, and verify results for numbers like 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Set up two headings labeled number one and number two, then create a results column to display 1×1 through 12×12 with a workflow function, a chart showing 12×12 equals 144.

Learn to write a program that prints all prime numbers up to the largest representable value, including the first 20 primes and the prime definition.

Demonstrates a naive prime-number finder up to 20 by testing each candidate against smaller divisors using modulus, marking non-primes, and confirming primes such as 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.

Practice a Deluge guessing game that tells you if your guess is too high or too low, tracks previous guesses, and counts unique tries using a random 1–20 number.

Explore what comes next in exercise 10, anticipate test topics, and examine a program that prints the next 20, while reviewing the definition of a ratio.
