Ever wanted to write a program that reads exactly like rock song lyrics? In this hands-on workshop, we'll explore the pure joy of creative programming through Rockstar – a language where your code IS the lyrics. This isn't about AI or machine learning – it's about having fun while solving real programming problems by writing rock songs.
