Webmapping

Participants will need to bring their own laptops. You will need a web browser (Chrome or Firefox) and a working installation of QGIS (http://www.qgis.org). You will also find a mouse very useful for working with some of the spatial data.

In this one-day course we will explore Web Mapping and show you how to use a variety of different tools to display and communicate spatial information. We will have a recap of the basics of spatial data and focus on how we get a variety of different types of data into web mapping platforms. We will review some of the different platforms available and spend most of the time looking at the MapBox platform. For more information please visit: www.cdrc.ac.uk/events/web-mapping-london

No experience of using spatial data is needed for this course, but some experience would be beneficial.
No experience of coding is needed for this course.
