Last night James gave a short talk on CartoDB (maptime.io/cartodb-tutorial), followed by a tutorial of making a map of world cities sized by population. Data for the world cities came from Natural Earth, a really great resource for public domain cartographic features. After the tutorial, Maptimers worked a few exercises, such as making a choropleth map of population in US counties, and an animated “torque” map of all the earthquakes in the last 30 days. The tutorial and exercise prompts can be found at maptimeatx.github.io/cartodb-exercises/.
We had a great group of folks come to the meetup, including several new members. We hope we see you all again at future Maptimes!
Thanks once again to ObjectRocket for hosting and to CartoDB for pizza!
