hello world

adding static geojson files as layers in Leaflet

there are lots of ways

here are some real lazy easy ones

basically it's just an ajax request

boring ol' vanilla javascript

jQuery $.getJSON

The magical world of Leaflet plugins

Leaflet-AJAX

why isn't this just in Leaflet?

because capitalism I guess

anyway

let's add some points to a map

lifewinning.github.io/maps-cmu/demos/basemap_with_points

adding polygons

lifewinning.github.io/maps-cmu/demos/basemap_with_polygons

so that happened

there were probably easier ways

and these tools have shortcomings

projections!

we can and should really talk about d3

also exciting weird webGL stuff

static geojson does not always scale

but the point is

now we know how a web map works

how to put one together

and how to find/create data for it

questions?

thank you!!
