This workshop is based off Juan Shishido's Introductory Geocoding and Mapping workshop available at: https://github.com/dlab-geo/geocoding-workshop
Changes include
- uses geopy & Google Maps API instead of DSTK, due to DSTK being intermittently down.
- does not cover batch geocoding using DSTK
March 2016 changes include:
- Patty Frontiera added section on the Census Geocoder to tutorial Ipython notebook
The workshop is split between a short lecture with code snippets to try, followed by a tutorial which we work through together.
Slides for the lecture can be viewed here: http://dlab-geo.github.io/geocoding-geopy/slides/index.html#1
For the tutorial:
- To run intro-geocoding.ipynb as IPython notebook (interactive), download zip or git clone, navigate to extracted folder in terminal, and type "ipython notebook."
- To view IPython notebook as static webpage (not interactive), go to: http://dlab-geo.github.io/geocoding-geopy/intro-geocoding.html
- For those who prefer working with the code outside of IPython notebook, the code is available as a single Python file (intro-geocoding.py)
