This talk is for curious minds who want to get started with web mapping, regardless of their experience in GIS!
We will see how to set up a development environment from scratch and explore the coolest features from MapTiler SDK. Then, we will learn how to use them to make better maps that are actually useful and can tell stories.
Our tools: JavaScript, TypeScript, and a bit of CSS, but if you have never heard of those, that's fine too, this talk is beginner-friendly! (and what's better than learning about web programming with an actual project in mind!)
PS: It will be easier if you are already familiar with the basics of programming and some general concepts, even with another language such as Python: what's a variable? what's a function?
👋 Hey, I'm Jonathan, I'm a software developer who specializes in computer graphics ✨ for the web but I also develop tools related to web mapping at MapTiler.
One of my missions there is to build MapTiler SDK and an ecosystem of modules that reduce the complexity for map devs to tell stories.
