Some amount of programming is a key requirement to complete many cartographic tasks and projects today. In this lecture & lab, students will be offered an overview of the different areas where programming can be used in different parts of the cartographic workflow, from loading and transforming (geo)data to symbolization, rendering and interaction. In each of these areas, basic solutions will be implemented by the students, and entry points to more advanced techniques will be given.
The programming examples in the course will be presented in JavaScript and will make use of the Web Browser as a modern application and scripting framework.
For students with no prior experience in JavaScript or a lack of confidence in their basic programming skills, visiting the JavaScript tutorial offered for this lecture is highly recommended!
