Layers and browser panels
Browser and Layers panels describe where data is stored and how that data is displayed. Now is a great time to download some sample data. Head over to https://qgis.org/downloads/data/ and download training_manual_execise_data.zip. Extract it in a folder of your choice and then navigate to that folder in the Browser window.

We will look at styling layers in Chapter 3, Visualizing Data, and then cover how to create a map in Chapter 4, Creating Great Maps.Lets take a look at Browser and Layers Panels in the following screenshot:
