In this course you will learn how to collect, store, wrangle and display cartographic data in a cloud-based setting. You will learn reproducible approaches to retrieve spatial data from APIs data platforms; to store and query these data in databases like PostGIS and data warehouses like BigQuery; to wrangle these data with Python and/or JavaScript running on cloud-based infrastructure; and to visualize in various platforms including Carto and Looker. You will build your own APIs and develop your own custom web applications. This course is the second in a progression toward building web-based systems using geospatial data, and expands on the Fall course in JavaScript Programming for Urban Planners. Experience with Python OR JavaScript is required.
