Overview
===========================
Looker is a modern data platform in Google Cloud that lets you analyze and visualize your data interactively. You can use Looker to do in-depth data analysis, integrate insights across different data sources, build actionable data-driven workflows, and create custom data applications.

In this lab, you learn how to use Looker to analyze and visualize data using Explores, which are data views created by LookML developers.
