A web map is an interactive display of geographic information, in
the form of a web page, that you can use to tell stories and answer
questions. Web maps have numerous advantages over traditional
mapping techniques, such as the ability to display up-to-date or
even real-time information, easy distribution to end users, and
highly customized interactive content. Introduction to Web Mapping
teaches you how to develop online interactive web maps and web
mapping applications, using standard web technologies: HTML, CSS
and JavaScript. The core technologies are introduced in Chapters
1-5, focusing on the specific aspects which are most relevant to
web mapping. Chapters 6-13 then implement the material and
demonstrate key concepts for building and publishing interactive
web maps. The book: Gives an introduction to fundamental web
technologies: HTML, CSS and JavaScript Covers Leaflet, the popular
open-source JavaScript library for building web maps Describes the
GeoJSON vector layer format and the Ajax technique for loading data
Shows how spatial database APIs, such as the CARTO platform, can be
combined with a web map to query and display large amounts of data
Introduces client-side geoprocessing with the Turf.js JavaScript
library, for applying spatial operators in the browser Demonstrates
a complex web mapping application for collecting crowdsourced data,
combining Leaflet, CARTO and the Leaflet.draw plugin Goes over 69
complete code examples and includes 9 solved exercises for building
web maps and web pages (downloadable code is provided in the online
supplement) The book is intended for beginners with no background
in web technologies or programming. Nevertheless, some prior
experience with computers and programming is beneficial. The book
can be used for self-study, or as a textbook in a standard
undergraduate "Web mapping" course in a Geography department,
intended for students specializing in Geographic Information
Systems (GIS).

This book is intended for anyone who wants to learn how to
efficiently analyze geospatial data with R, including GIS analysts,
researchers, educators, and students who work with spatial data and
who are interested in expanding their capabilities through
programming. The book assumes familiarity with the basic geographic
information concepts (such as spatial coordinates), but no prior
experience with R and/or programming is required. By focusing on R
exclusively, you will not need to depend on any external software a
working installation of R is all that is necessary to begin.

Coming-of-age drama set in 1970s rural New Zealand. Farmer's son
Billy (Andrew Patterson) feels out of place at school. While the
other boys want to fight or play rugby, Billy's passion in life is
watching science fiction movies and re-enacting them with his
tomboy cousin Lou (Harriet Beattie), or withdrawing into an
imaginary world in which he is Lana, the heroine of his favourite
TV soap. Billy's world is changed forever with two important new
arrivals into his world: gawky new classmate Roy (Jay Collins) and
handsome young farmhand Jamie (Michael Dorman).
