In just 3 hours, you’ll learn the basics of web mapping with Leaflet 2.0, the latest version of the popular open-source library for interactive maps.
This workshop is aimed at beginners as well as those who have already worked with Leaflet 1.x and want to transition to the new version.
Step by step, you’ll create an interactive map, integrate different basemaps (e.g. OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, Stamen), and visualize your own data - points, lines, and polygons. You’ll also learn how to add interactions such as zooming, click events, or popups, and how to extend your map with events.
In addition to the familiar fundamentals, we’ll also take a look at the key changes and new features in Leaflet 2.0: What’s different, what has improved, and what should you keep in mind when migrating?
Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is required. By the end of the workshop, you will have created your own small web mapping application—and understand how Leaflet 2.0 can make your next mapping project simpler and more modern.
No pre-requirements.
What skills do participants require to have?:Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is required. You do not need to be an expert.
