Web Mapping Workshop

Dayton Data Visualization, Girl Develop It, and Code For Dayton

Interested in making maps for the web? <A HREF="http://www.meetup.com/daytondv/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dayton Data Visualization</A>, <A HREF="http://gdidayton.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Girl Develop It Dayton</A>, and <A HREF="http://codefordayton.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Code For Dayton</A> are teaming up to to provide the (we think) perfect introduction to mapping on the web.
We will spend the first half guiding you through the basics of crafting web maps with Leaflet.js. Some of the topics we’ll cover include:
<UL CLASS="ul1">
<LI>Getting started with Leaflet</LI>
<LI>Adding markers, lines, & other geometry</LI>
<LI CLASS="li1">Interactivity</LI>
<LI CLASS="li1">Useful plugins for extending Leaflet.</LI>
<LI CLASS="li1">Fun datasources for local, national, and international mapping.</LI>
</UL>
For the second half, we will provide you with some sample data and project ideas and get out of your way. :) We'll be around to assist you in any way that we can, but you should have what you need to build your own thing.
We will do our best to accommodate all skill levels, but you will get the most out of this workshop if you have a passing familiarity with Javascript.
Stuff to bring or do beforehand:
<UL CLASS="ul1">
<LI CLASS="li1">Your own laptop (PC or Mac)</LI>
<LI CLASS="li1">Install a text editor (like <A HREF="https://www.sublimetext.com/3" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sublime Text</A>) for writing code</LI>
</UL>
Lunch will be provided (please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions).
All attendees are expected to abide by the GDI <A HREF="http://gdidayton.com/code-of-conduct/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Code of Conduct</A>.
